A suburban police department left behind a roomful of evidence when it closed two years ago - including a moldy sexual assault kit that authorities said linked a man to the 2006 rape of a 13-year-old girl, nearly 200 guns and hundreds of bags of narcotics, officials said Friday.

In all, seven rape kits had been left rotting in an unplugged refrigerator in the former Ford Heights Police Department, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said. The guns had not been registered with the state as having been seized by police, and Dart's spokesman Steve Patterson said none of the DNA evidence found matches anyone in the state's database.

dereliction of duty, classed in common law as criminal or civil negligence, recklessness or malpractice.
 
Man, how do those types of items end up LAST on the list of things to be moved, and then either forgotten or intentionally left?

Ever heard of a checklist?
