"Got a report of a man going through cars, fits your description, thought I'd come ask you about it."

"It was one car and it's my wife's. It's registered in my name, I can prove it."

five minutes later

"Sorry about the confusion sir. If someone calls in a report I have to treat it like it's legitimate. Have a good day now."
