The police in Pico Rivera, Cali. had an easy time pinning a 4-year old murder on Anthony Garcia. He was getting a mugshot done for a petty crime, when the officers noticed an intricate tattoo on his chest.

Someone should really check that id
An Iowa City man had his wallet and drivers license stolen while out. A few months later, he was bouncing at a bar and the thief happened to show up, brandishing the license as his very own id.
