webfact Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 "Big Bike Man" who stole tourist's shoes arrested after coordinated police manhunt Picture: Sanook A large police manhunt that also involved the local authority has tracked down "Big Bike Man" who pinched a foreigner's shoes at Wat Doi Suthep. In a poor attempt at mitigation the thief said that the shoes looked like his but were newer - so he took them anyway. Pheeraphat, 24, was apprehended on Chang Khlan Road yesterday following the theft on Monday. He was wearing the Adidas trainers and admitted it was a fair cop. He had earlier fled the scene on his Kawasaki Ninja 650cc motorcycle earning him the Big Bike moniker. Phuping Khratniwet police led by Pol Col Pitipong Butpiam joined with other cops and the municipal authority in examining the getaway route of the miscreant caught on several CCTV cameras. Within two days they had their man. He admitted everything but said that the black and white shoes bore a strong resemblance to his own, though they were a lot newer. He stole them anyway and has been charged with theft committed in a place of religion.

Cereal Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Since when is a 650cc bike considered big? I suppose if you're a Thai guy weighing in at 55kg soaking wet maybe. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanBBK Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 This brought a huge smile to my face. How wonderful it is that police has the time to launch such an operation for a stolen pair of shoes. Noteworthy that there is a special category for theft at places of worship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, that must be when the shoes are stolen from the covered awning immediately outside the temple: Stealing shoes within tent. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Although supposedly he admitted it, I don't see how you could prove he stole them. It seems he put on another persons shoes instead of his own. It's something anybody could do by mistake and most people are prepared for this at venues where lots of people remove shoes. It is the kind of venue where you take your 50 BT flip flops , not your 10k sneakers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not forget to take your medicine next time, this kind of obsession, repetitive, completely off topic, it's very bad for your health.

BestB Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 must of been a super special pair of shoes to have so much resources put into catching shoe thief and for someone who can afford 650cc to steal a pair of used shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he bought them at the sneaker show at Central Festival a few weeks ago, he could have paid anywhere up to 100K Baht for a pair of sneakers! The surprising thing was that there was no shortage of buyers dropping 20-30K on a pair of sneakers; many of whom were 20ish kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
