Northern Thailand Police Nab Suspect for Foreign Home Burglaries

Daytime break‑ins are more common in the West because the occupants are working, so it’s interesting this guy chose night time presumably while people are home.

Specifically targeted homes where he could tell the occupants were foreigners is not that bright, as older expats tend to keep far less cash or valuables at home than many of their Thai neighbours.

I keep almost no cash at home - less than 2 or 3 thousand baht at most - also, no gold or valuable jewelry.

So you don't leave computers and other valuables at home ?

Wow dogs- can be silenced. Alarms and cameras and internet mostly rely on fixed electricity supply which can be easily turned off at the electricity board. The special surprise inside!! Is that your wife naked? Hubba hubba.😁

Where do you live? Hehe

What is there to steal in houses these days. Can't grab a flat-screen, not worth much anyway. People keep their phones with them, so that's out. Anybody with a couple of brain cells hides gold & cash or has a safe.

That leaves only computers. Back up!
