The Highway police of Region 1 in Ayutthaya were left with a large slathering of egg on their faces after an incident in their jurisdiction.

 

Reports had come in from a man called Nattawut that his bus - that had the keys in the ignition - had been stolen in Chachoengsao, eastern Thailand.

 

The GPS system soon traced its movement to the Asia Highway heading north.

 

The Highway police responded with a patrol car and found the bus parked in the local road. 

 

While the officers were examining the apparently abandoned bus they turned in horror.

 

Someone had crept out and pinched their patrol car and was fleeing the scene!

 

The car - now being driven by Prasit, 38 the bus thief - did a quick U-turn on the next bridge and then headed back to Bangkok.

The car was found crashed in a ditch on Pahonyothin Road in the Chiang Rak Noi area KM 11.

 

Cops got a call from a member of the public at some flats about a man without a shirt.

 

Nearby they got their man who admitted to the bus and police car shenanigans, tossing the bus keys behind the flats, shedding his clothes and stealing someone's trousers. 

 

He admitted to being high on meth. 

 

He had previous for theft in many cases, reported Siam Rath.

Just how the perpetrator was able to drive whilst wearing a blindfold is not explained.......

He looks a lot like my last Grab driver. I was a bit surprised when he arrived driving a bus...

You would have been more surprised if he delivered a pizza in the police car.

ha ha you couldn't make this up if you tried

He took the drink/drive advice literally.

 

When you are high on booze or drugs, don't ride your motorbike home. Take a bus.

 

 

 

 

The Joy Ride of all Joy rides.....someone in prison will be riding him in the near future.

Funny as <deleted>  it don't take much to make the BiB look stupid but high on meth and stealing a bus followed by the cop car is the icing on the cake, well  done mate. ????????

Maybe in his altered consciousness the voices convinced him that any unattended vehicle with the ignition keys left in it was there for public use

 

or

 

Just what is the stupidity requirements for enrolment with the RTP (is it more or less than that for Bus drivers)?

I thought Thai drivers normally did wear them.

Brilliant ????  high or not talk about giving the finger!

Unfortunately I doubt if the MIB will see the funny side of it! He will probably find out what it's like to breath through a few plastic bags follwed by a tap on the head with a few telephone directories.

So disappointed not to see the big vinyl board depicting the sequence of events !

and stealing someone's trousers.

This reminds me of the 'Porridge ' sit com when they escaped  in a coach that belonged to a visiting football team to the jail. 

A warm thankyou to the RTP for always giving us 'larf init. 

you have restored some happiness.
