Preservation of Evidence
To preserve evidence in a crime scene, do not touch anything, limit your movement through the crime scene, do not attempt to clean anything up (glass, dirt, broken window/doors, etc.), and report the crime immediately.
The longer you wait to report a crime, the less likely officers will be able to recover probative evidence.
