Maybe if he'd pivoted, the camera wouldn't have caught him...

The internet is losing it's mind over a picture posted by Blackpool Police, asking for assistance locating a man who stole something from a restaurant in the Blackpool area.

However, the serious post quickly turned into one big global joke after people noted the wanted man shares a striking likeness to everyone's favorite paleontologist, Ross from friends.

The post has gone completely viral, at the time of publishing it'd gathered 67-thousand shares and 103-thousand comments since being posted on Tuesday morning.

And some of the comments are outstanding:

One person wrote: ''I don't think it's been this guy's day, his week, his month or even his year....''

Another said: ''Okay to be fair, the cashier WAS on a break.''

While a third added: ''Give him a  break, he grew up with Monica... he he didn't steal, he didn't eat!''

A forth noted: ''Hey i know this guy! I think I last saw him staring out his apartment window screaming "get off my sister!"

In response to the hilarious comments, Blackpool Police said: ''Thank you to everyone for your speedy responses. We have investigated this matter thoroughly and have confirmed that David Schwimmer was in America on this date. We're so sorry it has to be this way.''

We hope he's caught! Before he steals anything else... Sandwhich shop owners should be on particularly high alert.
