DNA may be found, however the problem lies with how many people may have handled the egg carton before the suspects did? Also the cost of sending it to a lab and having it processed is rather expensive, and not something that most Depts. can afford to do for a Criminal damage to property case. (that type of CSI is usually saved for homicides, robberies, rapes, etc...) Aside from that, if the suspects are not in the DNA data base, you have no one to tie it to, thus no results for a lot of money spent. Having said that, prints on a Styrofoam carton are much easier to collect, and can be done in house by most agencies, with little cost involved.
