Some years ago, on Pattaya's Walking Street, in the days when ATM's dispensed you cash before ejecting your card, I took my cash and walked off into the crowd.
I was possibly fifty yards away from the ATM when a young Thai lad caught up to me and gave me my card that I'd left in the machine.
Another time, some years later, I got out of a Taxi outside my hotel in Bangkok and he drove off, it was then that I realized that my bag was in his boot.
Not expecting to see my bag again, I resigned myself to the loss.
An hour later the driver turned up at the hotel with my 'lost' bag'
