Here's an early contender for headline of the week from the Medway Messenger - Hearse joyrider had meat cleaver down trousers. It certainly fulfils the criteria of building a picture in the readers' minds and encouraging people to read on. Haven't most newspapers banned 'joyriders/joyriding' though? And given the short last line why not 'jogging bottoms' instead of trousers? Still, a cracking headline.

So much to love about this story, which tends to suggest that it was not so much the joyriding which led to the prison sentence as the "possession of a bladed article." And of course, the generic picture of the court building to illustrate a story about a criminal case.
