Police sketch

police-sketch.gif

I scanned this picture out of a local newspaper. A man is wanted for allegedly fondling an alleged 7-year-old girl left alone for a minute at a magazine stand at an alleged local supermarket. When witnesses started crowding him he ran away. He is described as “between 45-60 years old, 170 cm tall, grey hair, corpulent etc etc”. A police artist produced this sketch on the basis of witnesses’ descriptions.

Two-thirds of the men in our village fit that description. Most Austrian men do. It could be any of them.

It could even be me, I told Alpha.

“You’re taller than 170 cm,” she said.

    and, sue, thank you. the newspaper format is the work of famous mysterious designer “D”.

    But you did all the coding yourself. So that makes this all your fault.
