Turning Up The Heat On Theft
A dry-cleaner in Papua New Guinea has a unique way to get thieves to clean up their act - giving them a steam cleaning. A 20-year-old man in the northeast town of Lae suffered burns to his abdomen, chest and back after the shop owner turned a steam cleaner on him when he was caught stealing pants. Police seemed unconcerned about the punishment.

Well I can see punishment but burns? I do not think so.
ReplyDeleteI am in it for love, not hurting anyone.

Bwahahahahahaha. I wouldn't be concerned with the punishment either. Bravo to the owner. Have a great day David. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad the police were unconcerned! In this mad country I live in, the poor guy would probably have been prosecuted! If this happened more often, thieves would think again!
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
(I am trying to type while a cat holds my hand down with his paws!)
In the U.S. the victim would be persecuted and the guilty one would be let free. I like their style...lol
ReplyDeleteIt's been several days since he was caught. I bet the thief is depressed now.
