webfact Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Picture: Thai Rath Chalerm Prakiat police were called by locals in Suan Luang sub-district of Nakhon Sri Thammarat in southern Thailand after a car was found buried in a palm oil plantation. The locals feared it would contain a corpse. Police got a small backhoe and dug it out finding that it was a cut up BMW with no plates. However, there was no dead body. It was transported to the police station. Thai Rath reported that the plantation belongs to a community leader. The police are trying to find out the provenance of the car and suspect it may have been involved in criminal activity.

Lacessit Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 A disgruntled BMW owner? Think it was the early sixties, when the first Ford Falcon came out in Australia. One owner was so ticked off by the problems he had he invited the media onto his property, and asked them to film him burning the car. It made the front page on a couple of newspapers. Would never happen nowadays, too much advertising revenue at risk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's a subterranean model that just ran out of gas at an unfortunate time. I'm sure the driver just dug himself out and left the car to save face. It happens to be best of us.

Pedrogaz Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Sounds like it was a SMART BMW stolen and cut up by an immigrant. You don't see the SMART BMWs any more unless you go to an immigration office where they are parked, seemingly permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall hearing that story but thought it was in the states and that the owner invited the boss of the local Ford Company around to witness the funeral but under some other pretext. However I am damn sure it was a Ford and not a Holden and it certainly wasnt "the Kingswood" hahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
