Truck Stolen While Eating Noodles

A housewife went out to buy something to eat at a noodle stall and within 10 minutes, she turned around to find that her pickup truck had been stolen – from right behind her back!

While the investigating officer of Dongtan Sub-Station was working at his desk at 7.40 pm on 14th March a lady walked in with a very surprised look on her face saying that her pickup truck had just been stolen. It took the police a while to calm her down before she could give a statement.

Miss Rawi Jitchuen, aged 41, told the police that she resides at View Point Village. Earlier she drove her Nissan pickup truck to the Mae La-Or local market in Soi Wat Boon Karnjanaram Temple to buy some seafood as she was holding a party at home before flying overseas.

On her way back, she stopped at a noodle stand by the road and jumped out to get some noodles, without turning off the engine because there were lots of people in that area – nothing could have happened she thought.

She later regretted this careless act because when she turned around the truck was speeding off – heading for Sukhumvit Road.

The police made a report and are now searching for the truck.

Presumably left the engine running for the air con: Idiot. She deserved to have it stolen.

Flying overseas eh?.

Why do I feel an insurance scam coming on?.

Would insurance cough up in these circumstances?. Shouldn't think so, therefore she may be more stupid than at first reading.

You know, maybe upcountry in a rural area, that *might* be okay to do, but anywhere near a big westernized city, it's absolutely ludicrous! And, she's going overseas? I hope she get some anti-naievity lessons before she departs.
