    None other than a bird has contributed to solving a robbery in Rotterdam-Nesselande. The armed robbery of a house on Laan van Magisch Realisme took place in April last year.
    Two men committed the robbery. One went in, tied the victim up and threatened him with what looked like a gun. Soon after, the robbers took off again with a bank card, telephones and other items.
    The police launched an investigation to find the perpetrators and made good use of camera images from the area. It showed that there was, yes, bird droppings on the roof of the suspects' car.
    Normally, license plates are a useful tool to find a vehicle, but they were just not legible from the camera angle. The bird droppings suddenly came in very handy for the police. In this way, one suspect was arrested and a short time later the police also arrived at the second suspect.
    The judge has since sentenced both suspects to four years in prison. They must also pay the victim compensation.

    For all of the unsolved cases I love for these lowlifes actually having to spend four years of their miserable lives locked up because of some bird poop.

    And so you see, the specifics of specific bird droppings might tip the scale whenever other ways of identification arent possible :o)

    The unique pattern of those bird droppings was just like scan-code squares.

    A nice tale.

    If the birds stay there long enough, the pattern will presumably have a Poisson distribution, but dont tell our "exposure/ISO obsessed" members that!

    What is the significance of that in regard to the OP?

    I dont get it at all, honestly.

    Perhaps I missed the gist of it because I'm Dutch. Thanks.

    Or a Rorschach test ...
