    I just got this visual in my head of some guy stating "It was a 30 year old male wearing a Dress MacKenzie tartan, Ancient MacKenzie hose flashes, size 9 gillies, an imitation rabbit fur spooran and he was missing a tassel, and he had a cap on but the badge was a MacPhee I believe"

    A fully disreputable charachter to be sure.

    My spouse is a cop and yesterday they got a look-out for an male between the ages of 15 and 50, probably african american but possibley a darkly tanned hispanic or asian, wearing jeans and a hoodie.

    That pretty much eliminates only old white ladies from the line-up! Police descriptions can be a real hoot because they get soo vague sometimes.

    I thought that was the point? "The man said a man wearing a kilt he did not know..." Emphasis added Clearly, the witness could not ID the tartan!
