Title: How long does it take to catch a drunk miscreant?

Abstract: We discuss the answer to a question of Churchley who asked how
long it will take a cop to catch a drunk robber who moves randomly. We
begin by discussing other variants of the cop-robber paradigm. This is
joint work with Alex Scott, Colin McDiarmid, and Ross Kang. We rely
heavily on work of Komarov and Winkler.
