Good Samaritan catches car thief - he's pictured tied to a tree as police get to the scene!

Picture: 77kaoded

 

77kaoded reported on an extraordinary theft of a pick-up from a PTT gas station on the Petchkasem Highway in Phetchaburi, south/central Thailand.

 

The driver of an Isuzu pick-up had left the keys in the ignition and the engine running while he put air in the tires.

 

A motorcyclist spotted this, dumped his bike and jumped into the pick-up and drove away heading south.

 

Unfortunately for him a member of the public who saw this gave chase and managed to stop the pick-up nearby and make a citizen's arrest.

 

The miscreant in a helmet was pictured on the news site tied to a tree with rope.

 

No explanation was given for this as a Muang Phetchaburi police patrol arrived on the scene.

Obviously not the sharpest pencil in the box. His bike was still at the gas station.

But was it his or was it a stolen bike and he was moving upwards when nabbed.  Maybe where the motorbike was stolen from they will find a bicycle he had stolen, and then from where the bicycle stolen they will find a tricycle....the loop is endless.

You're right - ultimately it'll lead back to when his Aunty Som gave him a paper clip for his birthday.

A guy once swapped a paper clip to get a house
