At $50 a test, I would bankrupt the Kravitz’ plan. Ever heard of “salting the find”?

Bring in the Canada geese.

DNA is not found in excrement — so good luck to the apartment managers on this one.

Actually, cells from the intestinal lining are shed into the intestinal contents all the time. Those cells have a life span of 24-48 hours, and there is no other place for them to go when they die. I am not sure of the quality of DNA from those cells; it could very well be high enough quality to identify individual dogs.

Yes, but isn’t the underlying premise that you have to have a database of DNA of known suspects? Where does that data come from?

Better swab the tenants too

You may be onto something...

I’d leave a stool sample on the apartment manager’s desk and then leave the complex when my lease was up.

I believe the article said that owners would be required to provide samples of their dogs’ DNA prior to moving into the apartments.
