The perpetrators have been tentatively identified -- the group I suspected all along who live on the island.  Unfortunately, they flew back to Europe a few days ago, according to a neighbor, and nobody was at their house.  I couldn't say anything earlier as everything was ongoing.  We are still making sure that this is 100% and checking to see if they made other threats to persons on Samui. 

 

After hearing this news, I found myself in a state of euphoria, and the only analogy I could think of was how soldiers felt once they had escaped death.  Sorry if I offended anyone.   If I get more information that can be posted then I will, but moderators feel free to close this.  Thanks to everyone who helped me through this ordeal.

And so another episode of CSI Miami comes to a happy ending. Stay tuned for the next episode of Law & Order coming up after the break. 

 

What's the real name of this poster, Walter Mitty ?
