Thieves don't miss an opportunity

People leave their phones lying around all the time.

This guy's on a slippery slope. Pretty soon he won't be able to meet the financial requirements.

Thank God it wasn't a Swatch.

Locate him and proceed with his deportation.

No investigation?

Sometimes the elderly take things without malice. They are confused.

If he is a thief he should be prosecuted. If he is cognitively impaired, he should be sent to his home country healthcare system.

help secure the return of the device

Return to whom?

Nowhere in this article is the alleged specific owner of the phone identified. Was it owned by the shop per se and not to a person?

No mention of attempting to call the phone number nor GPS its location. Or was the pone owner unavailable?

????

Did he also steal the suitcase, perhaps the day before? So what's next?

Should be able to login on another device and track the phone.

Most phones you can remotely lock and wipe the data from the phone so if all else fails that maybe an option.

What's in the suitcase?😉

How will they ever find him?

Grey haired white man in shorts. t-shirt, and cheap sandals.

In Pattaya, who isn't?

Me. In regard to the thread--clear as can be that he stole the phone--the camera was angled perfectly. As we say in America, poor white trash.

Probably a lot of phones. He knew what he was doing. You can see he waited until no one was watching so he could pick it up and rush out the door. Hope they find him and blacklist the scumbag.

Are you going to sentence him as well?

As previously mentioned, It was premeditated not the dithering actions actions of a confused person. The CCTV footage tells the whole story, nothing left to the imagination.

Maybe more mobile phones. He is an avid collector of mobile phones

I once “stole” a phone. I was at the local copy shop getting some documents printed. It’s a small shop where people shuffle around each other as they wait for a computer to come free or stuff to be printed.

My documents were done and so I started to pack up my stuff into my small rucksack, original documents, wallet after having paid, copy documents, motorbike keys, phone, all got dumped into my bag and off i went.

When I got home, twenty minutes later I hear a ringing sound for inside my bag and there was a phone that wasn’t mine.

I realised what I had done and took it back and it was relief all round for the owner of the shop whose phone it was.

Same iPhone, very similar case.

This case looks slightly different though in terms of clarity of intention

True, Even when they get old bad habits are still there.
