In this case I think there is a thin line between beging and selling. Where I live every Friday there are one or two beggers along walking street who can only sit on a mat showing their twisted and worn out limbs. The certainly don't get up and walk home at the end of the evening so they are begging but are small girls begging who are selling flowers ?
Sounds iffy to me too. Many years ago I knew someone who claimed on his insurance for a camera that had been stolen from his hotel room. Only thing was he never had a camera .
Also in the '60s he made a claim for a stolen motorbike in London. He sold the bike to someone for 100 quid and gave him the bike key. Horrible chap.
Remember that one from years ago. The bin men go to the back of the chinese restaurant and ask 'Where's yer bin ?' Chinese chap says Hong Kong . Bin man says ' No where's you wheelie bin'
Restaurant chap replies ' I wheelie bin Hong Kong'.
In the trees opposite our house lives a family of Tree Shrews . Whatever they are called in Thai must be easier to say than Tree Shrews after a couple of drinks.
