Speeding nurse caught unknowingly driving stolen car in Khon Kaen

A Khon Kaen nurse, who was arrested by police for a speeding violation, found she was in double trouble when a check revealed that the second-hand Toyota Vios she was driving was a stolen vehicle with fake licence plates.

 

The case came to light after a Chanthaburi man Danai Kotipapa told reporters that he received a traffic ticket issued by Khon Kaen Highway Police for speeding when he had never been in the Northeastern province. 

 

An investigation showed that Danai had legitimate licence plates while the sedan captured on a police camera carried fake plates and was stolen property from Phetchaburi.

 

When police seized nurse Thanpimon Nanamai’s vehicle on Wednesday, she insisted that she bought the car legally last month for Bt150,000. She said the owner, who was introduced to her by an acquaintance, promised to send all the car documents to her later. 

 

Provincial Police Region 4's car theft suppression team head Pol Colonel Omsin Trarungreung said police would use Thanpimon as a witness to extend the investigation to reach the car theft gang, which was not based in the Northeast. 

 

He warned people to check the car registration information with the Land Transport Department before buying a second-hand car.

 

Thanpimon said she regretted not checking the information before buying the car, which she thought was value for money due to the good condition and cheap price. She said she was on a merit-making trip on the day that the police camera caught her speeding.

A 2008 Vios for 150k... maybe 100k below what you would expect to pay. I can believe someone thinking they'd found a bargain if told it was heavily discounted for a quick sale. There are car tents who would give you only 100k as is if they knew you were trying to sell a car fast. I can remember being offered some laughable prices for a ten year old very well maintained Civic we once had. It's not like she was buying a 2016 model for half price.

Greed beats brain as so often in life

Once again TV writers blame the wrong person. How about feeling sorry for her and blaming the con artist?
