British burglar provides updated photo for his own wanted poster
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.
The police thanked him for helping them in their appeal, saying: “Everyone in Swansea will know what he looks like now.”
He felt safe and secure enough to take a new photo – standing in front of a copper’s van. Har!
Holler at your Congress-critter to support Bernie Sanders' bill to 
I think that’s actually Robin Hood in disguise.

He sounds more like that 1% of criminals who want to be caught.
