Phuket: Aussie denies shoplifting - but Phuket police say they have him banged to rights

[theanimaster]

Please tell me if they can catch a shoplifting Aussie, surely they can catch that scumbag that killed several people; including a 2-year old, in that “botched” gold robbery??

If you followed the regular 'what I wear to immigration' and ' why I don't wear trousers' threads, you'd understand that's the dress standard of over half the forum posters.

And don't even consider the 'i don't own underwear' crew (another 10%)

As with small amounts of drugs, smoking a joint etc complete waste of time slap on wrist and a warning at most, like Thais with bad driving, what about a press conference for  jumping a red light ? THAT might actually work now i think about it, but.....

 

Years ago, I came to the realization that a lot of Asian news stories are parables, to warn others no to do the same.  Like a story in Bangkok about a husband being arrested for beating his wife.  Hardly newsworthy, but may give a bunch of husbands pause before the do it...

Right, Top brass gather for a shoplifter, anyone who reads this and don't know much about Thailand will be excused to think that there are no crimes in this country and if the top brass is involved in a shoplifting case, Thailand must a country where the worst crimes are petty crimes... 

The top brass usually get involved when there is a possibility of milking the perpetrator and helping him avoid lengthy sentences and reporting to immigration etc. etc..

 

They have to recoup their investments. 

They call it greasing the squeaky wheel...

 

Reduced sentence, pay fine, non refundable bail to keep out of the monkey house, a generous offering behind closed doors to stop the immigration officers from getting involved...

Seven other designer items such as Gucci and Prada ladies bags and sunglasses were also taken into evidence. 

Real or knockoffs?
