Worked at a gas station, guy walks in and buys some strange combination of Keno (lottery tickets that get drawn every few minutes) tickets. Like a hundred dollars with picking a single number. Not impossible, just odd. Pays with a credit card.
Thought it was strange enough that I wrote down his license plate number as he was walking back to his vehicle. I think I only ever went to such an action this like 2-3 times in the year that I worked there.
Person walks in an hour later asking about someone using a stolen credit card and giving the exact amount of the tickets, we call the cops, they come and I give them the license plate (car was stolen too) and they can now tie multiple things to this person.
This was a long time ago, we did not have cameras that would have picked up license plates at that time, so it was a good catch by me.
