• I sincerely hope you are right "Anonymous" !! It certainly has fooled the Lancashire Crime Prevention Officer.

• This hoax is older than the hills! I honestly can't believe that it's still doing the rounds.
  Yes it may have caught the Lancashire crime prevention officer out (and he should be embarassed), but the general rule is:-
  If it sounds a bit far fetched, then it probably is.

• It's more than likely this isn't even an error on the part of the Lancashire Police. Many of these hoax emails rely on an appended existing body to lend veracity to the claim.

• If you refer to this link:
  
  http://www.lancashire.police.uk/index.php?id=619
  
  ...it confirms that they have confirmed this to be a hoax (bold text about half way down).
