This could turn out to be some sort of meta-hoax but I found it funny all the same.

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

That does not surprise me.
I never recognize myself in pictures. I am much better looking than any picture ever taken of me.

That's great!
As an aside, does anyone have a doppelganger out there that you've met/seen? I've never seen a photo of someone else and thought it was me. Then again, I don't scroll through the 'people of Walmart' website much, so there's that.

Met a guy who looked a lot like me when I was in high school.
We both changed as we grew older and differed a lot by mid college.

piqué

In ninth grade i started studying Russian, and our class subscribed to a Russian language magazine. On the cover of the first issue we received was a photograph of a russian girl in a phone booth. She was the spitting image of me, so much so that everyone in the class commented on it. Years later, in my 20s, was told by my Russian piano teacher at Mannes that I looked like the quintessential Russian girl. This left me with the feeling for years that I must have a doppelganger out there.

If you don’t find her there, there’s always ‘people of public transport’.

I’d never thought of that, but yes!
