okay long story short version
Local loony robs a building society at gun point & looks up at the security camera on the way out giving the local newspaper a perfect picture of himself.
He looks EXACTLY like me, to the point where even my mum thinks its me!
I was working in a pub at the time so had about 30 witnesses.
The jokes wear thin to the point that I decide to go to the plod and say
"I really look like this fella but it wasn't me & this is my address, name, car reg etc"
They take the details (reluctantly) and I go off thinking i have done me bit!
Whilst shopping at the weekend I notice there's a lot of police about in town & don't think much about. Get in the car... police car behind. It dissapears after a few mins.
Another one appears a few mins later then dissapears after half a mile or so.
I stop at the petrol station which is too busy so i think sod it and am pulling back into the traffic when a patrol range rover goes past sideways, all 4 locked up, blue smoke, blue lights the lot. I'm gawping at this spectacle of remarkably bad driving when he leaps out the thing and comes sprinting towards me screaming at me to get back from the side of the road and to keep my hands where he can see 'em.
In the space of about 5 seconds my car is completeley surrounded by swat type vans about 5 patrol cars & assorted bikes. all the armed response come tumbling out of the vans tooled up and ready to turn me and the car into a teabag!
whilst keeping my hands in sight i undo my belt and am unceremoniously 'yoinked' out of the car like a rag doll and 'starsky and hutched' over the bonnet with the whole world (it feels like) watching.
Questions barked at me by some smart arse cheif inspector type for about 5 mins who has obvoiusly just been promoted in his own mind for a 'result'
at which point the officer i gave my details to the week before recognises me and has a word with with the big cheese... and i'm left shaking like a dog sh1tting bones by the side of the road while they pack up and bog off. I can laugh now but i ranks so far as the scariest thing i've ever been through :-o
