Shop owner steam-cleans crooks

From Papau New Guinea, where a 20-year-old man suffered burns and scalding to his abdomen, chest and back after a dry-cleaning shop owner turned a steam cleaner on him after he was caught stealing pants.    

"The owner has done this to many people already," police spokesman Nema Mondiai told Australian Associated Press on Wednesday.

Clean and pressed.
