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.

A new wrinkle in self-defense.

The guy's skin is peeling off in chunks, but damn don't that suit look good!

Clean and pressed.

So when is this form of punishment ported into the US?
