My favorite is:

"So take off your pants. Right here, right now."

Gets the point across quickly and viscerally.

What do you do if they drop trou?

[–] Inkstainthebat@pawb.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Inspect, very carefully, and point out every detail of course

Take a photo, and use that for face ID.

Or call the cops.
