English term or phrase: lucky pouch of DNA
Apparently, he left his lucky pouch of DNA and hair fibers at the scene of his last job. Contact your man inside the police, and make sure they don't find it.

Bendito DNA
Explanation:
Acho que "Lucky Pouch" aqui está sendo usado sarcasticamente. Naturalmente, o marginal que deixa DNA em uma cena de crime não pode ser considerado como portador de sorte.

Eu usaria algo como "bendito DNA", ou algo que também expresse, em português, o sarcasmo do original em inglês.

lucky pouch of dna
saco sortudo de DNA


Explanation:
Parece que "lucky pouch" é um saquinho, às vezes confeccionado do escroto do canguru. (veja frase abaixo)

É uma bolsa pequena usada para carregar alguns, poucos, itens de uso pessoal. "saco sortudo" parece ser uma tradução apropriada...

Example sentence(s):
  • From back in the days of Aussie miners, kangaroo scrotums were used to hold the gold they mined from creek beds. Kangaroo Scrotum Bags became a bit of a lucky item for Aussies and now you can share in the luck of the past.
