My friend very recently finished up at the Police Academy and this is one of the things they learn about...

A few months ago I had an incident with a bag snatcher where I chased him down, he pulled a knife and jumped into his car. 5 minutes later I was talking to police and all I could remember were his license plate details because I had been repeating them in my head as I walked back to the victim. I couldn't be sure even of what colour clothes he had on or what make of car he jumped into.
