FORT BRAGG, Calif. -- Four Northern California men have been busted for allegedly tattooing the word "thief" in 2-inch-high letters on the forehead of a man they suspected of stealing a pound of marijuana.
Authorities in Mendocino County reported the four face charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, conspiracy and mayhem.
The victim is a 31-year-old man whose name hasn't been released.
Investigators said the victim was lured to the home of one of those arrested, then duct-taped and tattooed.

Branding, I think, would smart a bit.

Ahhhhh, if he tried to steal DRUGS doesn't this imply that the party he was stealing from were either using, selling, or doing both? If this is the case, they should ALL be tattooed.

This may explain why so many druggies in California like to wear stocking caps even in the middle of summer.

Imagine trying to explain the word thief on your forehead to family and friends, and total strangers. No problem. Just change THEIF to THEIE.

Was he branded or was he tattoed?I think "branding" refers to marking something. It can be marked with burning or a tattoo.

A mayhem charge always reminds me of the old Soviet charge of hooliganism.

Branded, scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you're branded, and you know you're a man.Stranded, stranded on the toilet bowl.
What do you do when you're stranded, without a roll...
