One thing I just don't understand, and I read about this all the time, is that when someone's arrested, be they Thai or a Farang, they seem to always confess! Why is that? Why would anyone confess to committing a crime like this? ?

maybe there was a lot more than 2 million involved and someone knows where that might be ?

i thought the same as a few others was he looking for watches in the houses.or a room full of cash 

He done his homework and know where the best place to find lots of cash. 

It never ceases to amaze me how stupid these guys are. What did he really think he'd not ever get caught?

No wais or 500 bht fine for this Columbian scumbag..

50 plus years sentence range. 

Cunning or foolish depending on how you look at if he purposely targeted a senior military man's/politician's home since it is well known they tend to keep undocumented earnings in the form of stashed cash but also have the power to hunt you down.

 

Must not have kept abreast of the news that those earnings have been laundered to Richard Mille's, and Audemar Piguet's.

He took them all. So Prawit is sueing for 80 million bht. Prawit only needs to show the receipts to the insurance company.

How can Prawit be expected to keep the Kingdom safe when he can't even keep his own home safe?

Robert Alexander Williams, 45, who holds a Colombian passport but whose birthplace is believed to be the United States, was arrested on Saturday morning in Khon Kaen.

 

   Holds a Colombian passport, but born in the US?

 

   A deal with the CIA, some drug deals and all is fine.

Who says crime pays?

I don't think flying is a good option when your a wanted man, he even managed to get himself caught on a bus.

Two million bht in cash! That's a lot of tea money lying around. Whose the real criminal?

It would be very nice if this story developed legs and exposed more than "just a break in". But ......

He’s a criminal, he must have “contacts”...

 

if not, then just goes to prove my point...

Of course. Foreigners can't own a car in their own name. I know it's true - a Mi...shi sales rep told me.

Perhaps he was pink lint because the swag had not yet been fenced, hence the bus ride
