Would you just say the same thing of any nationality ?

 

What if he was from the US ?... you’d state ‘another high class American criminal living in the LOS’ ?

 

Or are you only negatively bias against Australians ?

I would have thought lesson 1.1 of getting away with burglary unseen would be don't use the front door !

Didn't know that TOPS sold Vegemite. He must have been desperate.

 

That's Australians for you ????

of course no other nationality commit crimes, all the courts across the world lay idle.

 

Sadly, now days, "Australian national" could mean any of a dozens of nationalities that are now called "Aussies"...

Or better, when spotted and shouted at, don't run inside the premises?

Apparently, he's Austrian not Australian, according to the comments on the original article. I would guess he was after alcohol, and probably blind drunk already; would explain why he'd do something so stupid.

Why are some members having a go at the mans nationality?

A thief is a thief no matter what country he is from.

Every country has the same problems, so his nationality is irrelevant.

Valid point, but Thailand being a place where people from all over the world can be found, it has been a practice of the local media to attach the nationality to anyone who's not a Thai, why? good question...

On a hunt for a "Tinny"... and in the hours of darkness, he'll suffer more for that.

The biggest idiot criminals do these things......breaking and entering, stealing like 100 baht worth of stuff, get 20-years, life over, everything over.....

 

The "smart" ones sell crypto, dating services, more online scams, ponzi schemes.....whatever.

 

if you are going to ruin your life, try a "white collar" crime that doesn't physically hurt anyone.

 

I stole 10 million bitcoins from North Korea.   

 

or maybe try being a treasure hunter........

 

gotta be something better than this.

...unless he's a Brit, a yank or an Aussie.

Looks like he is not Australian after all, he is Austrian and probably that is not the country he originated from.

 

A locked out Ozzie running low on funds.

Seems like he's a bit of a prawn himself

He had the foresight to wear gloves, and a head covering, so he probably wasn't drunk.  It seems as though he is a dolt who thought "How would Skippy the Bush Kangaroo crack this store?"

Thanks Colin

Any time I see one of these crime reports involving a Nigerian or Australian, I can't help but wonder why they keep letting them in.
