Legal action has already been taken against four people who ‘removed’ beer cans after a truck carrying boxes of beer cans overturned in Phuket on January 11.

 

A logistic company representative has filed a report with police after more than 80,000 beer cans, valued at more than two million baht, mysteriously “vanished” after the truck overturned in Rassada.

 

The Phuket City Police Chief Col Sompong Thiparpakun says, “Four people have now been arrested. They have admitted that they saw other people taking beer cans, so they did too. They say they have consumed the contents of all beer cans. ”

The people who "removed" the beer cans, were good samaritans dressed in brown with golden wings and were plainly wanting to clear up the street...

7-11 parking lot sale?

Silly comment mysteriously vanished, people were seen picking up the cans.

Nothing mysterious about that.

Just folk getting p+++ed at the companies expense.

[smedly]

it is theft

[AhFarangJa]

I have to seriously doubt the veracity of the figures, and smell an insurance scam on the horizon.

80,000 cans of beer equates to 3,333 cases. If there were 100 people involved ( which I think unlikely ) then that means each person carried off 34 cases of beer.....no mean feat when most were on motorcycles or walking. 

[Damrongsak]

I applaud the passers-by who took it upon themselves to avoid a potential environmental disaster and get the demon alcohol off the street.  Chai Yo! 

 

Meanwhile, that 7-11 is going to have to explain why sales of alcoholic beverages were way down that day.

Never underestimate the thirst of the average man.  TIT, it's hot and it's free.  How do you say "Woo Hoo" in Thai?

Maybe also need to explain the sudden appearance of a dozen or so more cases than there should be in the back room...

So if people did not steal all the cans.  Would logistics company pick all up, repackage and still deliver damaged cans? Or what would have happened? Gone back to recycling? 

[steve73]

All these good Samaritans clearing the rubbish & debris from an accident.

 

I'm sure they would have emptied the contents somehow, and then recycled the empty can in the appropriate manner.

 

Well don't to them all.  The supplier/transporter should be charged for causing a potential environmental catastrophe.

[jaiyen]

The damaged cans would be the property of the insurance company who would have to pay to remove them and would have dumped them in a hole or landfill. The villagers cleaned up the mess for free and recycled the beer and the cans. They should be applauded for their good work !

[madmitch]

If the cans hadn't been removed the police would still be there chalking lines around every one of them.

Along with their names to claim ownership.

You are not counting how many cans went in the 7-11 storage area  

They went  on sale the same day

Better to clean the mess up, than leave it laying around to foul up the environment.

Doing a civic duty??????
