CCTV from a gold shop in downtown Pathum Thani showed a would be robber in a surgical face mask pretend to be interested in buying some gold.

 

After he looked at two half baht weight gold chains he decides to steal one (valued at about 10,000 baht) and makes for the door.

 

But he finds that the security lock has activated and he is unable to exit the shop.

 

So he returns the gold and wai's in apology.

 

The shop staff tell him to stop as the alarm sounds but he manages to force his way out through the door and flee on a motorcycle.

 

Channel 8 News who featured the video on Facebook said that he was soon arrested by police on the Pathum Thai to Sam Khok Road.

He clearly put a lot of time and effort into masterminding this robbery.

the neighbours must have thought the Luftwaffe were overhead

Not much of a security lock.... before or after!

Only in Thailand! One reason I love the crazy place.

Pretty harmless idiot.  No gun and no threats, for once!

A typical Clever and Smart thief.
