Did you ever read a news story that sounded like the beginnings of a novel?

[annulla]

This is the entire news item from today's New York Times:

A man believed to be in his 40’s was found dead on a West Village street yesterday, his body suspended by a studded leather collar around his neck from the spoke of an iron fence, the police said. The cause of death was unknown, and the medical examiner’s office said an autopsy would be conducted today. The police did not know the man’s identity, officials said. Witnesses said he was in black leather clothes and gloves and had a black mask covering his face. His body was discovered dangling from a three-foot-high fence in front of a four-story building at 424 Hudson Street shortly before 7 a.m. and bore no obvious signs of trauma, the police said.

That sounds like a fab episode of "Law and Order"

That's exactly what I thought!
