Burglar breaks legs during escape from Pattaya home

PATTAYA:--A Pattaya burglar discovered it’s hard to run from the law with two broken legs.

 

Chanarong Thongngam, 41, was captured by police in a wooded area near Kho Karat Village where he collapsed after allegedly robbing a home there Sept. 14.

 

Police recovered a flat-screen television, 14 gold amulets and a silver bracelet.

 

Police said Chanarong confessed to the burglary, saying he slipped on the rain-slickened second-story roof and fell to the ground, badly hurting both his legs and ankles. He crawled into the woods in hopes of escaping once he recovered.

 

He was taken to jail in a wheelchair.

Got to love Thai police at times. Instead of a hospital, he was taken to jail in a wheelchair 

 

So, the "14 gold amulets" protection racket, what happened there? ?

I'd love to see the video of a guy with two broken legs crawling into the woods whilst dragging a flat screen TV and wearing 14 Good Luck charms.

Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet"

So stop stealing joker...you've now been warned. ?

Should have broken his neck...

Karma's a bitch sometimes !

Justice first! Well...sometimes, unless the thief has a badge or a fat wallet.

Well!  If they were anti burglary amulets they sort-of worked.
