At risk of personally identifying information... I guess I did volunteer this one.
I knew not many people pick a day in mid December to go sailing. I didn't know I'd be the only one out, the day they were doing a massive drugs bust. They clearly thought no real pleasure sailor would be there. Fortunately I am obviously a harmless WAFI* and the appearance of my kid's cheery grin in the companionway was enough to convince them. (Bringing them up hardy, you see)
They probably also realised that with their hundreds of horsepower it's not like my beloved 4KSB* is a credible getaway vehicle.
Sorry, can't think of any more funny ones right now. 4KSB is a Sailing Anarchy-ism; the same kind of boat is for some reason a MAB in the UK - a Manky Auld Boat. I take exception to that one.
