• When someone breaks glass a number of tiny fragments may be transferred to that person. If the glass is broken in the commission of a crime then these fragments may be used as evidence. A Bayesian interpretation of this evidence relies on the forensic scientist's ability to assess the probability of transfer. This paper examines the problem of assessing this probability and suggests some solutions.
