A housewife in Pathum Thani north of Bangkok has told the media how she bought a brand new motorcycle on Friday afternoon only to have it stolen from her by two knife wielding robbers the very same evening.

 

Khamneung, 44, bought her Yamaha NMax at 1 pm - she had lost it by 8.40 pm.

 

She had been going to a convenience store when two men in full face helmets on a bike made her stop and produced a knife.

 

They drove off with her new purchase leaving her stranded on a bridge in Muang district.

 

In addition to the vehicle - as yet with no plates - there was 9,000 baht, house and pick-up keys and documents in a bag also stolen.

 

A man and his daughter helped her get to the police station and report the matter.

 

She went on Facebook to offer a 5,000 baht reward.

The way the Junta has grounded the economy below sea level will see many thefts in the future as those who dont have money will take what they can to survive.

Gee....if you didn't know better,...you'd almost think the thieves have a friend who works at the Yamaha dealership.

Or she has a nephew.

This will get far worse and as it does the more worried expats should get. 400,000~800,000 baht is a very tempting target. This is not rubbish as whole families have been murdered for far less (I remember reading a very sad case over 100,000baht (it may have been less)).

Fishy?

[StayinThailand2much]

Inside job, no doubt. Did she pay the bike in cash, flashing the other 9,000 baht in the process?

Thailand price is 81,000 baht.

Up here in NE village some (a lot) people leave keys in the moto.....

not the brightest thing to do...

[overherebc]

I would, yes really I would love to see a post from an expat on TV saying this morning I picked up my new ( you name it car ) and four hours later at a set of lights someone jumped in the vehicle put a gun to my head and made me get out and drove off with my brand new vehicle.

How many expats are going to post on the lines of 'it sounds fishy' 'did you flash cash when you bought it' 'do you have a nephew' 

Amazing.

B400-500k?  What?  In the context of the thread, I'm pretty sure that is rubbish.

Why don't you believe her, what so "fishy"?  Because she's Thai, perhaps?

I think the 400 to 800k he is dribbling about is the coin for retirement/marriage visa thingo.

[Just Weird]

The shameful Thaivisa chronic Thai-bashers are enjoying this woman's misfortune and appear to be blaming her.  I wonder why?

Would it have a key ?

 

I thought these new machines had keyless fobs.

Why would he be spouting that drivel here?

No idea, either way she didn't leave it unattended.

[CharlieH]

Presumably she has insurance, so no issue for her, slight inconvenience whilst processed but thats all.

Some just like to run the mouth without thinking about what they dribble.

[Grumpy John]

Where did 400.000 baht come from???   A new NMax 300 is worth around 160.000baht....or less if you go to the right dealership.

Just inform the robbers that you do the income method! 

 

Problem solved. ????

Only in your weird imagination.

Nobody's enjoying this woman's misfortune, perhaps you are obsessed with your own narrative.
