Kebab Cash Heist
Bob's account said that he and Shifty Sidney were delivering the payroll to the Sweaty Chef Kebab Company. They were at a stop sign when a police car pulled in front of them. The policeman got out and walked towards their truck. He was wearing a uniform, a badge, sun-glasses, a gun etc., he looked like a regular policeman.
The next thing Bob knew the policeman pulled his gun on them and demanded the hard earned kebab cash!
Shifty Sidney's account was similar to Bob's. He said that when the policeman pulled his gun he could hardly believe it. Shifty Sidney agreed with Bob's description of the policeman, but added that he was about six feet tall, 200 pounds, with blond hair, and brown eyes.
"I want to question Shifty Sidney further," stated world famous Inspector Mad Ade of the yard. What aroused Inspector Mad Ade's suspicion?

Niceeeee!
But how would the officer know that it wasn't Bob who was doing the lying?
good, but easy

He could have removed his glasses at some point!
I misssed the sunglasses bit and went for the probability that blond hair = blue eyes
One of the easiest ever, but pretty good.
Cool.
He might have been able to see through the sunglasses, if the policeman had got a pair that weren't reflective he might have been able to see his eyes through them.
PS My girlfriend has blonde hair and brown eyes (to above poster)

agree with TF--who's to say Bob wasn't lying?
(and I don't know any police officers who wear sunglasses..)
but nice job anyway

I liked the teaser but I also agree with TD maybe he wasnt wearing sunglasses so you could tell the color of his eyes. we shall never know.
Sorry, not TD, TF.
This is from MindTrap!
hmm, this teaser posted 2002, MindTraps version printed 2004? You do the math!
The teaser was pretty good- I assumed that they were the type of sunglasses you can see through (the whatchamacallit ones), though.
I actually enjoyed the previous two comments more than I enjoyed the teaser. (The MindTrap thing.) Nice argument, Mad-Ade.
