Video: Future of the nation - little Thai kids steal motorbike in Bangkok

 

 

Video footage posted to popular channel YouLike showed a group of Thai children steal a woman's motorbike.

 

Posted by Wanchana Ariya she lamented facetiously about the "youth of today" and the "future of the nation".

 

The footage showed a group of four boys up to no good in the Wong Wian 22 area of Thonburi on the afternoon of July 22nd.

 

After a little time one of the boys rides off on the stolen Honda Wave 110.

 

Still pictures later show all of the boys on the bike.

 

Comments by the poster in a hashtag indicated that she might have left the keys in the ignition.

 

She appealed for help in tracking down the thieves.

 

Police involvement or whether the vehicle was recovered was not reported.

Too funny.

Boys will be boys.

What little scallys but nothing unusual about helmetless 4 up 10 year olds riding scooters so they didn't stand out.

Hard to know which is more lamentable: that the kids are thieves or that the adults are as thick as sh*t.

That gives away your age. ???

Funniest part is when they get rid of the helmets before they steal the bike. Kids here really have no interest whatsoever in safety.

This comment will really give my age away.

This theft and footage would fit well into a modern version episode of the mid fifties American series "The Little Rascals".

i thought they were stealing the helmets at first but i guess the little rugrats were smart enough to know there's no market for them so because someone was stupid enough to leave the keys in the bike they just opportunistically thought no more walking today boys and off they went.

trying to work out at the start of the video if the tyres in the road are to reserve parking or if that's supposed to be warning of a massive hole in the road.

hate to say it but i think most of those kids if not all are destined for a pretty shit future.

Yes, reminds me of the time I had to buy my GF's motor scooter twice. The first time was from the dealer and the next was from the pawn shop after her young daughter stole and pawned it!

Now you are showing your age (younger than me). The Little Rascals (Our Gang) TV 1955 - Opening and Closing Theme (With Snippets). I have a vivid memory of watching this series on Saturday mornings in 1955, black and white TV, I was 7 years old.

It was recreated in the mid nineties. I was referring to the era that I relate to.

Whatever, all in good fun.

So true. This morning i rode past my local 'Bike Dismantler', who spends all of every day breaking up dubiously obtained bikes and scooters, selling some parts, respraying others for resale and the rest goes in the pick-up down to the scrapyard once a week.   The local Copper was there collecting his monthly 'bung' for 'protection' before returning to his ten million Baht house with three new cars outside !

They will become tuk tuk drivers soon

Give time to the time! They learn fast!

Appears they are learning teamwork.

We stole bicycles from the swimming bars when we were kids. 

We just wanted to ride around on bikes like the other kids. 

It's funny how kids think, it never even occurred to us that we were stealing. 

Give the boys a break. 

Kids do the strangest things.

I never stole a bike, my mother taught me it was wrong.

Well we are all not blessed with the same mothers. My mother was drunk every other day and we were slightly misguided. 

It's a rare person that gets through this life without breaking a few laws in their youth. You must be one of the rare ones. 

Different strokes for different folks.

I am sorry to hear about your mother, it couldn't have been easy for you. I just knew if I went out of line, I was in for a good beating, I thought better not to steal or swear than get a good beating, I still find swearing appalling to this day. I sure a good upbringing can last a lifetime.

There's no fighting it is there, it's just the way it is here. That's what I've decided after firstly being angry about it, then understanding it, then smiling when I see something like it happening. Not my country, I'm just a guest, I hope they enjoy it.

I giggled at the way they were actually jumping for joy, they were probably squealing like piglets, this shows that it was just a buzz thing, they weren't being nasty, or even doing it for cash, they just wanted a thrill, many of us have done things we shouldn't have, and have grown up...ok, I suppose ?

My mum was excellent, she taught us all the right ways, but we only chose to listen to some of them, we were young and wanted to do things out way. You can't always blame the parents.
