A suspicious DeLorean vehicle has been spotted at a supermarket in Irvine - and now cops are appealing for information.
Or so they would have us believe.
For police in Ayrshire joined in on the fun of the Back to the Future day with a quirky 'crime report' post.
The report posted on Facebook reads: "About 0728 hours today, Wednesday 21st October 2015, police received reports of a suspicious vehicle causing concern in the car park of an Irvine supermarket.
"Witnesses report the stainless steel DeLorean vehicle to have been damaged and two men to have been within the vehicle. One man is described as being around 17-years-old, slim build with dark hair while the other is only described as being older with grey hair and wearing a white coat.
"A spokesperson for Ayrshire Police Division commented "on arriving at the location the vehicle almost collided with two members of the public on hover boards. Luckily the hover board' collision avoidance system prevented any injuries. We are keen to speak with the two men seen within the vehicle."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
