Frenchman and his Thai wife sold a Pattaya man's pick-up after taking it for a test drive

[jippytum]

The buyer of the vehicle should be prosecuted as well as the husband and wife .  If the police prosecuted the middle men they would think twice about buying stolen goods .

I don't see anyone pointing????

Sorry, the Bastille was torn down during the French Revolution (1789). Fortunately, they probably still have a few guillotines.

“Trust them”? Haha . And as ever the “ health mask” used to hide their shame

 

********************************************

 

I believe the masks were over the faces of the Thai, legitimate owner of the truck & his wife, 

who was probably too embarrassed, ... after trusting a farang who stole from him and his wife.

I say this judging from the military hair cut.

 

The other photo shows a farang with no mask.

 

Did I miss something

Maybe his Thai wife was in charge, most of them are, and he was just the driver.

They then sold the vehicle to a man for 75,000 baht and headed for a holiday in Ao Nang in Krabi.

 

this man deserve to lose his money anyway to think you can buy a ford ranger here for 75,000 baht without the blue book.

Who in their right mind would trust a couple of complete strangers to test drive their car alone without accompanying  them?  A little bit naïve me thinks... 

Thais can be very naive / stupid at time, especially when money signs roll around in their eyes, and they think they have a taker for the sale.

At least demand that you hold their ID cards or passport.

[Sir Dude]

Another pair of oxygen thieves giving normal law abiding expats a bad name and helping to tighten the screw for all. Toss his arse in jail for a while and then send the scumbag back to whence he came. As for the girlfriend...as you see fit, because she is a local. 

[thailand49]

No bail no mercy, throw them both in jail until they provide something better than " don't know the guy name!

Might have been a bargain no one could refuse, but when it comes to taxing it there will be a ploblem, thats if they the new owner does that stuff..

My thought is they sold it to someone they know, perhaps her family...If so easy to find..

Or they just drive or somehow move it over to a neighboring country or a chop shop or whatever

If the man is holding a French passport then he is probably a French citizen, maybe from one of the former N.African colonies. His name is irrelevant.

Make an order for restitution and remain in the slammer until paid, click.

The Council weren’t happy about that either. ?

As shocking as it may sound.  But many locals do not have a problem buying bikes or cars without a book(stolen) , only because they can get away with it.

 

if and when going through a checkpoint, tax expired 500-1000 baht fine, after paid just keep on driving .

 

very rarely cops would also ask for blue/green book and even when asked and fail to produce it’s an extra 500-1000 fine as once again cops do not run any checks .

 

Up in isaan villages can drive/ride one most likely for 20 years without being pulled if one knows the usual check points.

absolutely.

but the Thai word "farang" is not about passport nationality.

From wikipedia:

" The word farang is from Persian word farang (فرنگ) or farangī (فرنگی), refers to Franks, the major German tribes ruling Western Europe. In Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia "Farang" refers to Europeans. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farang

 

Maybe you should throw away your dictionary. It's rubbish.

 

BTW, "foreigner" in Thai is "khon tangchart"

[kcpattaya]

Good police work.
