I just lost my iTouch,money & Sidekick and the person went through my wallet.Can police trace the fingerprint?

A zipper is too small to get a usable print. If you look at one of your fingers, most have an area that looks like a little triangle near the bottom outside edge of the print. This is called the delta. In order to classify a print, you must get the area of the delta and through the middle of the print.

There are other issues with fingerprints also:

-There is no national automated database, so the print would have to be hand checked. That would be too time consuming for all but the most serious offenses.

-Unless the suspect already has prints on file, there would be nothing to compare the print to.

-If the suspect could justify the print on your wallet, it would be of no value.

When you wear gloves then there aren't any fingerprints however other body ingredients do have targeted prints so the would must be careful about that. However hair or different DNA would trace a individual if they are in the procedure and we could say you buried a body in the woods. If the body is observed they might look for broken branches on bushed and stuff and assess which manner the person used to be dragged by which means the branches broke.Or there could be footprints. There might be items left at the scene which belong to a exact character. There might be any quantity of another ways to identify the killer. Even in which variety of gun has been used.

Even if they could get a print (and this would be difficult because a zipper isn't a single surface, but rather numerous separate but linked surfaces) there would still be the problem of a defendant whose prints were not in any searchable databases for your jurisdiction.
