    I've heard this cited as a true story but could be an urban myth. Might be worth checking on snopes.com if you can be bothered.

    Just came across this by mistake

    Best Lawyer Story

    Maybe the best lawyer story of the year, decade, and probably the century.

    A Charlotte, North Carolina lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against fire, among other things. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed claim against the insurance company.

    In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost in a series of small fires. The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.

    The lawyer sued ... and WON! (Stay with me here.)

    In delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer "held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire" and was obligated to pay the claim.

    Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the "fires."

    NOW FOR THE BEST PART...

    After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.

    This is a true story and was the First Place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.

    Only in America! No wonder the Third World countries think we are nuts :-)

    Hold-up At Big A Supermarket, Koh Phangan

    theres a scottish guy doing 3 years in samui jail ,for stealing a bottle of scotch from a hotel ,whats this guy gonna get for armed robbery..

    I feel bad for this guy.

    Its easy to read the above post and assume the guy sneaked into a hotel at night, forced open the steel shutters to the hotel bar and grabbed a bottle of Hennesy XO before legging it.

    Actauly the poor sod was just a p1ssed up guy who was actualy STAYING at the hotel. After a couple hours full on fun with his bar fine that night, he staggered to the hotel bar by the pool, which was closed. A security guard was sitting there. He asked if he could buy some whisky, the guard said no. So the guy took a bottle and said "Let them know i have taken it, im in room XX ill pay tommorow for the whole bottle"

    There was no abbuse, no aggresive confrontation, no shouting. It was a drunk young tourist having a laugh.

    The security guard calls the police and the guy gets lifted. The court case was swift and all the judge considered was 'ferang breaks into hotel bar steels booze" When he should have considered "Ferang staying at hotel gets alarmingly drunk, helps himself to booze behind bar with no shutters or locks and informs security he has taken it and will pay when bar opens"

    3 years man. A regular drunk tourist having a wild holiday makes a bad judgment call and gets 3 farking years.

    Dont get me wrong. It was a daft thing to do but at best, he should have had the hotel managment knocking his door in the morning asking for payment and making it clear if he did anything like that again, he would be evicted from the hotel.

    3 years! The last time I was in Samui i was toying with the idea of finding out the guys name etc so i could go visit him - thats how bad i feel for the poor guy.

    Enter the Thai Visa Right Wing brigade posting 'Let the ferang kee nok rot in prison bah humbug......'

    There must be more to this story..........

    As the police would ask for money first to clear the case up..... now if he was rude or refused to pay, then yes it would go to court

    Khun Sutaerp better known as “Taep Pongam” is a famous Thai Actor and Comedian. He has hit the headlines on the last 24 hours relating to his financial status. Despite appearing in many movies including a movie which is due out very soon called “Tewadar Dokam”, he has been declared Bankrupt by a court in Bangkok. The case centers on 5 Townhouses located at the Amongruk Village here in Pattaya. Mortgage Payments totaling 700,000 Baht have not be paid to the Krung Thai Bank, Central Pattaya Branch. The houses have already been sold by the Bank who took possession of them back in March. We spoke with local residents who explained that they saw Khun Sutaerp twice in 10 years. Despite his popularity and regular income from his acting work, he has attempted to start businesses which have all failed and it is thought that he used all his savings to finance the failed business ventures. It is thought that he will continue to act and will now have to rebuild his life and his bank balance following the bankruptcy declaration.
