Crook gives own mug shot to newspaper

A British man on the run from police sent a picture of himself to his local paper because he disliked the mug shot 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.

The police thanked him for helping them in their appeal, saying: "Everyone in Swansea will know what he looks like now."

Somewhere in the US I was reading an article in the local paper, complaining about the brain-drain amongst criminals.   It then went on to list all the dumb things local criminals had done.   It was quite a laugh.  The article went on - tongue in cheek - about what is the world coming to... where are the really, really clever crims??

Love it when stupid people do stupid things to out themselves 

There's a theory that the male brain doesn't begin to mature until 24 so he has a little time yet
