LONDON – A British police force received thousands of humorous responses after posting an image of a security camera showing a man much like the character of "Friends" Ross Geller stealing beer from a restaurant.
Police in Blackpool, in northern England, shared Tuesday the photo of the man, who shows the David Schwimmer look-alike holding a crate of beer.
The Blackpool police shared the picture on his Facebook page and was inundated with humorous responses inspired by some of the iconic lines of the TV program of the '90s.
"It was not his day, his week, his month, or even his beer …," joked a contributor.
"How did he manage to catch this unnoticed?" asked Tommy Dunsmuir. "Anyone was he paused?"
The police department seemed to enjoy the jokes of Facebook users, taking the time to clarify the name of the actor. "Thank you all for your quick answers," they said. "We thoroughly investigated this case and confirmed that David Schwimmer was in America on that date."
"We are so sorry that it's like this."

More than 100,000 users joined the group, some of them referring to the iconic theme song of the show.
Police forces in Scotland also participated in the party. Police officers from Dumfries and Galloway shared the publication on Facebook and warned the public to stay away.
"He is known to have studied karate and we think that he has mastered Unagi's art, the state of total consciousness," they said, referring to an episode from season 6 of the series in which Ross confused unagi (a Japanese eel) with zanshin (a term used in Japanese martial arts).
