rooster59 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 French national arrested on charge of stealing cash at airport By Suthinan Kongsin The Nation A French national was arrested early on Sunday at a Bangkok hotel for allegedly stealing US$10,170 (about Bt330,000) cash belonging to an Egyptian tourist at Suvarnabhumi Airport on Saturday night. French national, 33, was arrested at 3am and found to be in possession of the allegedly stolen cash amounting to $9,200, which he initially claimed belonged to him The arrest followed a complaint lodged with Suvarnabhumi Airport Police Station by Egyptian tourist Mohammed Gaber Ahmed Ahamed Ibrahim that he had forgotten his bag at a SIM-card selling shop on the terminal’s second floor. When he rushed back to get the bag, he found the cash inside was gone. Police looked through CCTV footage and identified him as a suspect, resulting in his arrest at the hotel. Besides the $9,200, police also found the red long-sleeved shirt that the French was reportedly wearing at the time of the theft. Police said that following interrogation, the French national had admitted to taking the cash out of the Egyptian’s bag.

I am surprised however, so far no racist comments on the nationality of the victim. There wouldn`t have been, but now you mention it.........

It was the bread baked by the starving Vienna people after the Turks ( or was it Ottomans or Byzanthines ?) after they gave up the siege of Vienna.

Just recently, when I had an appointment at the local hospital and had to wait for my OPD card. I sat down behind a woman who had her bag right next to her on a chair. But when she saw ,me she immediately grabbed her bag and put it on her lap. I really felt like a bag snatcher myself and I think that a lot of Thais now believe that we are all same same, not different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djayz Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I always find it both amusing and confusing at just how important a person's nationality becomes on this forum.. Fact is, according to the story, a fellow stole somebody else's money and was later apprehended. Why the big fuss about his nationality, race, etc.? Bizzar...

Your use of the expression "paying back" brings me to assume that you do not live in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatwhitenorth Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Bluespunk said: No. He is French. Correct!! To be French, according to the first article of the French Constitution, is to be a citizen of France, regardless of one's origin, race, or religion (sans distinction d'origine, de race ou de religion) French people are the descendants of Gauls and Romans, western European Celtic and Italic peoples, as well as Bretons, Aquitanians, Ligurians and to a lesser extent, Germanic people arriving at the beginning of the Frankish Empire such as the Franks, the Visigoths, the Suebi, the Saxons, the Allemanni and the Burgundians, and later Germanic groups such as the Vikings (known as Normans), who settled in Normandy and to a lesser extent in Brittany in the 9th century en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_people It appears the "French" have always been a liitle of this and a little of that, Edited January 8, 2018 by greatwhitenorth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
