LONDON—When local British bobbies posted a grainy CCTV image of a suspected thief clutching a pack of beer on social media, they got more of a response than they expected. Much, much more.
Within a day the post had picked up over 100,000 comments, as Facebook users riffed on the fact that the alleged thief bears a remarkable resemblance to actor David Schwimmer, best known for his role as Ross Geller in “Friends.”
