and guns too for that matter.

A bank robber could buy a gun,ammo, a ski mask, a bike, and a prepaid phone all at once at Wal-Mart. That combination of items all bought at once at the same Wal-Mart then seen on the bank's own security cameras would probably get them identified almost instantly though.

The gun sale would involve ID, and that would be enough to prove the identity by photo comparison on all the other purchases even though guns are handled separately at teh sporting goods counter.

A killer who used an iron pry bar was once identified by a UPC sticker left on that tool. It was a brand sold at Home Depot, and cops took that sticker to all nearby Home Depots. Home Depot shoots a photo of whatever is in front of the register (don't let it be your face) with every item scanned. All photos taken when this item was scanned were examined and from them the killer was caught.

Remember this could just as easily have been for "killing" a bulldozer at a pipeline site as for a murder!
