“A British man on the run from police sent a picture of himself to his local paper because he disliked the mugshot they had printed of him as part of a public appeal to track him down.
South Wales Police had issued media with the photo of Matthew Maynard, wanted by officers investigating a house burglary, as part of a crackdown on crime in Swansea.
When it appeared in the South Wales Evening Post, the 23-year-old sent the newspaper a replacement photo of himself standing in front of a police van. They obligingly printed it on the front page.”

This bloody bloke is too cute by half, his prank is going to end up with him behind bars. Not only is his mug on the front page of the newspaper, but now the cops have extra incentive to hunt him down.
When this guy is inevitably napped by the cops, the newspaper should publish his mug shot.
A picture is worth a thousand words, but when I looked at the pic this dude sent to the newspaper, only one word came to mind: Idiot.
