Video: Next door neighbors stealing water! They admit it and come out with a ton of excuses

A school teacher in Bang Bua Thong looked back at her CCTV and noticed her neighbors up to no good. 

 

A couple were caught making a hole in the front fence while she was out at school. 

 

They then used a hose to connect to one in the teacher's house to steal her mains water for their own use. 

 

 

The footage was widely viewed on Facebook on "Red Skull Forever" with the teacher, aged 56, posting that it was hard to live in the soi with people like that. 

 

She went to the police and it was determined that water had been stolen on three occasions in August. 

 

Reporters from Sanook went to the scene and managed to do some sleuthing and unearthed the culprits. 

 

The man in the video said that he and his wife lived with their 10 year old son and six year old daughter.

 

They admitted what they had done but asked for understanding. 

 

They had been cut off and the meter had been taken away because they had no money to pay their bills.

 

They promised to repay what they had stolen when they got money. 

 

The man explained that his mummy had not sent him any money and he has heart disease and a host of other complaints and can't work. 

 

So his wife has to stay home and look after him. 

 

The teacher is seeking the advice of her family before deciding whether to press ahead with a prosecution.

"is this a joke" no actually it,s theft and criminal damage to property.

what makes it worse is that it,s done to your neighbours house,and that neighbour will never be able to trust them again

Yes your correct, pull their finger nails out before administrating lethal injection that is missing a key ingredient ensuring a slow and agonizing death while forced to watch re-runs of little house on the prairie.

That will be never,why could they not ask for a bucket of water,

instead of stealing it,nobody would have refused someone water,

his mummy needs to send that man some money so he can get

the meter installed again.????

removing fingernails, and injections,,,,,,,,,ok..........but having to watch little house on the prairie is just plain sadistic cruelty.......

[bluesofa]

I remember someone else caught stealing water.

 

A foreigner let two of his Thai staff (husband and wife) live in his house to look after it while he went back to his home country for a couple of months.

He returned to find he had a water bill for over 10,000 Baht.

 

After a lot of questioning and asking his neighbours, it was discovered that during Songkran while he was away, the Thai male was using a hose to sell his water supply, filling up water trucks who were in turn selling it for people to throw at each other.

hahaha that's capitalism baby 

[KhunKenAP]

Just find out the statute of limitations for water theft and go live in Lao or Cambodia for a couple of years. Seems to work for some.

[bkk6060]

Add trespassing and conspiracy to the charges.

Book em..

It is a sad indictment of today's society. When I was growing up.( A looooooooong time ago I admit ), being a neighbour also meant looking out for each other, and giving a helping hand when needed. Now many people do not even talk to each other, or know the name of their neighbour. I would like to think that if they simply asked then the owner would have probably said yes, no problem until you can get your own supply re connected.

Sometimes im little bist off. In our village home , almost all neibors are relatives or atleast all know everybody! 

Seems thats not so bad thing afterall!

But why not ask water , its not so exbensive anyway. Think everybody is ok to give some if had bad times!

[toofarnorth]

................his mummy had not sent him any money.  Maybe she had been poorly , maybe it was her time of the month. Ah !    The curse of the mummy's womb.

[Paiman]

They are good in telling stories and you never know what is true.

 

Only acting like feeling remorse because it went public.

 

Waterboarding, at least better than the fingernails. My opinion.

Love thy neighbours...Amen..

A wonderful opportunity to create cheerful, sharing memories with the neighbors. Naturally he was overjoyed that he was able to contribute so much to the collective sanuk of so many people. What a nice fellow.

Yup, 100% correct, but I'd add in a nice public flogging also.

No. That is blatant theft.

 

It would appear that the staff that he had house sitting not only stole the water and kept the money too.

 

If it were e I would have sacked the staff and kept their wages to pay off the enormous water bill.

The key is as you say, "it's not so expensive", in fact it costs peanuts, even for Thai folk.

These scrotes took the risk of taking the p_ss out of this lady, now the BiB should give them a hefty fine to teach them a lesson....

Reminds me of the case in my old village in Sth. Pattaya, townhouses with shared dividing walls. Indian family did some tricky reconnaissance of the next house to make notes of the exact positions of electric outlets in the dividing wall (2 levels) before the house was occupied.

 

Then back in their own house they carefully drilled through to get access to the outlets in the house next door, then carefully opened enough of the walls so that they could join their wires into the wall outlets of the house next door and instant free power.

 

Quite some years later the house paying for all the electricity was sold to a farang who quickly realized his monthly power bill was high and he asked several nearby neighbors what they paid monthly for electricity. All indicated about half of what he was paying.

 

Then someone noticed that the power poll just outside the house next door had a power meter, but no wires from the power meter into the house.

 

Farang got a Thai friend to call the power company and tell them the whole story.

 

Power company engineers arrived with a policeman, they demanded to talk to the Indian man who claimed that he had bought the house from someone, power bill never came so he assumed electricity was free.

 

Cops checked the ownership details at the land titles office and discovered the Indian man they had spoken to had bought the house new and had personally lived at the house from purchase.

 

Indian was charged and did 2 years jail and had to reimburse the farang the cost of the stolen power, about 10 years.

 

Cops also insisted the Indian pay the cost of a qualified electrician going into the farang's house and totally re-wiring the house.

 

Why, during the investigation it was discovered that Indians living at the back of the farang's house were doing the same thing, had jumped the dividing wall between the back of the two houses and openly tapped into a power outlet for the washing machine at the back of the farang's house but the open wiring unseen, hidden behind a cupboard, with water regularly pouring over the wiring.  This Indian was also charged and punished. 

 

Many house owners in same village got the electrician to check their houses for any drain off.
