This one close to home (thanks Jeff Conrad) — according to the San Francisco Chronicle, the SFPD is looking for a man seen by security cameras photographing and possibly drawing the famous Transamerica Tower in downtown San Francisco, back on the 12th of August (I've taken photographs there myself, many times — but then I'm fair-haired).
The man seen making sketches outside the building is described as Middle Eastern, about 30 to 35 years old, 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, with no facial hair. He may speak with an accent, according to the bulletin.
How did they recognize his accent from a "grainy image"?
