Yes the thief looks a bit like him on the CCTV but AIBU in saying that you can tell it's not him!
Apparently police even checked if David Schwimmer was in the country, I mean come on FFS.

I don’t think anyone genuinely believed it was him fgs 😂 It was all just a joke and a bit of fun.

It's on sky news today

Slow news day obviously

But yup when I saw it a couple days ago I was also like bloody hell its ross gellar

TheHulksPurplePanties · 24/10/2018 11:20

The police didn't actually check to see if it was David Schwimmer. They were making a jokey reply to the people who were joking about it being him... Hmm

SausageOnAFork · 24/10/2018 11:22

Of course no one thought it was him and the police were just joining in on the joke.

PositivelyPERF · 24/10/2018 11:26

That’s so funny, but I agree with the people that say it’s not Ross, but his nemesis Russ! 😁

I used to work with a guy - quite distinctive looking - and there was a story on Crimewatch about a building society raid in the nearby town where he lived. The e-fit could have been a photograph of him! I did a proper double take.

I wonder if anyone did report him...

Queenofhearts3 · 24/10/2018 11:33

It was a joke! Everyone knew it wasn’t David they were merely just pointing out the resemblance! The police just joined in on the joke!

WE WERE ON A BREAK!!! Grin

Celebelly · 24/10/2018 11:36

Actually cackling at the idea Blackpool Police actually checked where David Schwimmer was. Bahahaha.

Celebelly · 24/10/2018 11:37

This was presumably during Ross's dark period when the 'MY SANDWICH' incident occurred.

Osirus · 24/10/2018 11:37

I bet the real criminal is finding it very amusing too!

DioneTheDiabolist · 24/10/2018 11:40

True story.Halloween Grin

I doubt it as an otherwise fairly lowkey crime that probably a handful of people would have shared on Facebook along with a few pars in the local papers now has a massive amount of coverage and his face is everywhere.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 24/10/2018 11:45

Fancy that!

RelicHunter · 24/10/2018 11:47

Well, the real thief can now get a better job as a David schiwmmer look alike. Hopefully Hmm

strawberrisc · 24/10/2018 11:49

Read the comments on any of the FB posts. Hilarious!

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 24/10/2018 11:49

Omg, the comments on that on FB..... 😂

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 24/10/2018 11:50

It’s Russ, he’s trying to frame him....

SylviaAndSidney · 24/10/2018 11:52

Are we sure the police have definitely eliminated David Schwimmer?

I'm still not convinced it isn't him.

Always looked shifty.

GabsAlot · 24/10/2018 11:54

TheHulksPurplePanties · 24/10/2018 11:56

He was always the worst Friend.

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 24/10/2018 11:56

Tbh it looks like 1990s David

darkriver198868 · 24/10/2018 11:56

It made me laugh hard.

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 24/10/2018 11:58

Tbh though he’s more likely to be caught now
