Yesterday i was walking along the road near my home when 2 men jumped on me and stole my 5 million baht gold necklace.

 

 

 

Yes a load of BS just like this story.

The alarm bells started ringing as soon as you said walking old mate 555

Other than that you almost had me!! 

[Pattaya28]

1. Why would these 3 alleged businessmen take so much gold to another country ? And then keep it in an insecure safe ?

2. Who would insure these hi-risk men ?

3. Either way, they end up with zippo.

[mickymouse1]

I wonder & ask what business they are involved in? I never seen any if my business associates wearing gold or carrying so much valuables during their business trips etc.

What were they doing with so many Rolex especially and gold items unless that is the business they are doing,how about work permits???

i thought this also.

especially consider the quality of Thai made screwdrivers if you ever try to use them.

 

anyone seriously believe you can pry open a safe with those screwdrivers and they dont bend?

 

stinking pile of BS if you ask me

 

i would say more to truth:

1. insurance job

2. this stuff was being "held" by others for safekeeping for some influential figure.

 

for sure others had to know about the stuff

 unless they paraded the the goodies around for all to see to get big face,

which would only be the idiotic kind of thing thing certain others would do

Where?  It's almost impossible to find a quality safe here.  They have a huge selection of cheap safes that are over-priced and poor quality.  You can spend a lot of money on a safe, but that doesn't mean that it's even moderately secure.

Police have yet to check fingerprints and footage from security cameras in the area to conduct an investigation.

 

They said they left the house at 7.30pm on Friday for a business and returned to find their house had been broken into.

 

  A Micronesian investigation where they soon find out that they didn't have a work permit? ?

 

  

 

In Thailand, money is the work permit.

w-p need a small update now ?

 

Rolex made in "China town thief market" ? 555+++

Dumb people everywhere. Who rents a house in Thailand with a suppossed 12M bht in valuables in a crappy tinker toy safe: losers or liars?

[DeeMak9]

If they would've paid 4000 THB a year for a service like www.siamsecure.co.th this wouldn't have happened .... cheapskates ....

[KKr]

Surely do hope the serial numbers were reported to Rolex already so I can check their website and do not buy a contraband Rolex when going to PP tonight.

[IamNoone88]

3 guys from the impoverished Marshall Islands with 28 Rolexes between them plus a stack of gold ..... send in the drug sniffer dogs ....

[KhunBENQ]

Marshal Islands

At least one for the collection and nice diversion from the usual crowds.

Must be a major percentage of all business men from this tiny island state (smaller in size than the inner city of Bangkok, 72000 people).

 

Do they really want to make believe that this safe was opened with two screwdrivers?

They should really have invested in a crowbar and sledgehammer.

 

Very dubious story.

It would be interesting to read what these individuals were doing with all those valuables left in a cheap safe in a rented apartment.

28 Rolex watches maybe of interest to a certain individual?

28 Rolex valued at 4,2m/thb means an average price of 150.000THB/each - a quite healthy return if they where replicas which it seems to be and  I doubt a "certain individual" would have interest in those....

If those 2 tiny screwdrivers are supposed to be the Tools opening this kind of safe then arrest the businessmenn - case closed - NeXT...

[ttrd]

RE - They said they left the house at 7.30pm on Friday for a business

 

I assume that it was one of the "replica Rolex" that showed that time and does it 2 times a day every day….

Borrowing watches seems to happen a bit here in Thailand!! 

I think at next the tax departement come inside this case and check out they bought the watches here or brought they to thailand and declared it.

Insurance set up for sure, and I would imagine they are there on an incorrect Visa as well. The police who are smart will work this one swiftly 

[ronaldo0]

So they have all this expensive bling and yet they rent a house that is a dump by the look of it !!

The pipework for the air con is ran along the wall ?

I wouldn't be surprised if the guy had got dressed up smart and went to a gold shop just to ask to try on a few bits of expensive gold pretending he was rich and interested in buying them. He would have then taken several pics of them as if it was his and I bet he would have shown them to the cops to say this was what was stolen.

[Jimbo1964]

And I'm assuming those two screw drivers were used to open the safe ! 

 

I don't think so somehow. ?

[fakename]

Is that another safe in the background?
