A buddy of mine had his scooter stolen in Patong. When he went to the police to report it the police spent 30 minutes trying to get him to not file a police report. They finally took the report (I think, I was there) Of course nothing happened. No insurance claim or anything, just the principle for the statistics. I would guess the guy had more pull than an average tourist to get action from the police.

 I agree. Years ago we had a bike stolen. Wife went to Patong police. Officer said he would look if my wife 'paid his petrol money to go search'. We drove about Patong and found the bike outside a guesthouse.
