webfact Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Australian arrested for theft from Thai woman's bag in Walking Street Picture: Pattaya News The Thai tourist police arrested a young Australian man who helped himself to the contents of a woman's bag while she was in the toilets at a Walking Street entertainment venue on Sunday morning. The tourist cops were called in the early hours after a security guard who was alerted by the woman had stopped 21 year old Niyonsaba Olivier. Thanyalak Nasuhai, 40, said she had just popped to the loo when she came out to be told by a friend that a dark skinned foreigner had stolen items from her bag. She was helped by the guards before police arrived. Pattaya News called the Australian "the color of ink" in their headline. Now he faces prosecution for theft.

According to that story - he found the bag in the toilet and was returning it ? So, are we to assume that either the lady used the gents loo or he used the ladies loo ? 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pattaya News story is a bit lacking in detail but from this photo I'd say that's the bag in question he's got there. Whether we can infer from this that he's accused of stealing the bag, as opposed to items from the bag (as implied by the Patttaya Post), I don't know, but it makes a hell of a difference to any credibility his story might hold.

Refugees get a lot plus whatever they take. He might actually work or folks do. Actually Africans tend to sit at either end of the scale; like there's the skilled immigrant doctor living very well, then there's the refugees knocking over jewelers and invading homes. Also where I grew up there's a whole clan of former war lords who've pilfered a fortune. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he is a true blue aussie and lived there all his life or what. But always read the same stuff happening everyday in Aus with these same skin color (again i am being a racist, but i dont know how to say it in a nicer way!). 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
