April 27, 2012 from The Week news:
"When Trish Vickers lost her sight, she poured her energies into writing a novel in longhand. But at the end of a 26-page writing session, she was devastated to discover that her pen had been dry and all the pages were blank. In desperation, Vickers, of Lyme Regis in the U.D., turned to her local police force's fingerprinting department for help. To her relief, the officers were able to use special lighting techniques to recover the writing from impressions on the pates. 'It was nice to do something for somebody,' said forensic specialist Kerry Savage, who completed the task during her lunch hours."
