When I was 20, I was accused of stealing a woman's purse in a parking lot....she had described me perfectly and even knew my name...so I got taken into custody and was scared to death...then they mentioned when the crime happened and I was at work that day. Luckily, I was working as a chef at a big banquet that day and was seen by the couple hundred people that ate there and chitchatted with me and the staff...not to mention my time clock records...
It turns out she was atatcked from behind and someone who had a grudge against me told her I had done it and described me plus gave her my name.
In the end, it worked out nicely though, she bought me an amazing dinner and picked up the tab at Harrahs' in Laughlin for a weekend as an apology. To this day, after 17 years, every Christmas I get a Christmas card from her. So it wasn't all bad.
