A robber, identified as a French tourist, 32 year old Martinez Joyce, was arrested in Ao Nang, Krabi, after stealing a purse containing 42,000 Baht cash inside.

 

Police received a report from 30 year old Assaman Yeesam on April 18 that he forgot his Balenciaga bag with 42,000 Baht cash in a coffee shop in Ao Nang where he was drinking earlier.

 

He called the shop but the staff said that a western man took it already, so he reported the police to search for the man. Police surveyed CCTV from around the scene of the crime.

Yer... what an idiot... right?

 

he should have left the bag outside whilst having a coffee.

Maybe it was the price of the bag/? Don't know if this is a designerbrand but i've seen plenty men in thailand with very expensive purses...42000 baht wouldn't buy one.

A really bad situation for honest people who pay tax and work their assess off to feed their families.

maybe if he spent less money on tatoos he might not have to steal as much

If they look a bit closer at the photo you can see that the guy in the red shirt looks to be taking a photo of the guy from the front.

Don't judge by the looks...of course...but sorry, even from behind, even if the photo is not of the suspect....he does look quite of a (quality tourist) crook....

He (and his barber) should be arrested for that haircut alone.  Looks like a tatooed pineapple that ran into a lawn mower.
