Crime Stoppers of Southwest Oklahoma posted a picture on its Facebook page asking for the public to help identify the man in the photo who is accused of stealing a credit card and going on a $10,000 shopping spree. But the photo they posted caused the man to have an... altered skin stone giving him the appearance of a real life Smurf, which they poked at in the post.

We're assuming the photo was a screenshot from a business's security camera, which we all know can often make some wonky images. So Crime Stoppers of Southwest Oklahoma decided to have a little bit of fun with this one.

And what's even better is that commenters had some funny takes on the photo!

One user said the man had an appearance of a particular Marvel character.

Others alluded to a possible mask on the man.

So if you see a green mask lying on the ground, don't pick it up! We all know what happens next...

Of course someone had to poke fun at the camera quality.

And there were some references to a sweet but sour criminal.

And last but not least, what we're all really thinking...

But seriously, if you do recognize this shapeshifter, let Crime Stoppers of Southwest Oklahoma know!
