Daily News Thai Caption: Nothing left at all

 

What should have been a dream home for an old lady has turned into a nightmare for an Ayutthaya woman and her family.

 

Manita Pinyophasakun, 49, and her relatives bought a bungalow for her mother's golden years but the lady got sick and needed to be hospitalized in Bangkok.

 

But while she was away the thieves moved in.

 

At first just a few things went missing and the Bang Pa-In police were informed and did a cursory investigation.

Subsequently the thieves completely gutted the place removing things like doors, windows, electrical infrastructure and gates. 

 

The property on Rojana Road is now a complete wreck.

A local security guard at a neighboring estate called the police many times to report theft but the cops were always too late to catch anyone. 

 

They allegedly ended up telling Manita:

 

"If you're not living there why don't you sell the place?"

 

Manita hopes that by going to Daily News - who recorded a 10 minute video - she might get some joy from the constabulary.

Typicall police what's in it for me attitude rtp are only interested if they can make money out of it shame shame rtp

Nice place to live. ????

Similar to what happened to a friend of mine when he went back to Australia for a month. All the wiring, anything metal, plastic water piping, even the staircase was dismantled and stolen.

To add insult to injury he'd paid the local police to keep an eye on the place whilst he was away.

They caught the thief soon enough as there were marks other the high wall into next doors house.

Somebody could believe the police were in on it for a cut of the proceeds. Others may speculate they're just incompetent. I couldn't possibly comment.

 

I expect next the police with slap with her with a defamation lawsuit.

That property has been abandoned for many years...

1.000 THB / monthly for a gardener had protected it.

One reason why we passed on many beautiful houses out in the countryside when we were looking....Little villages with some having nothing to do except drink & watch to see who/what car was going by....

Like a neighborhood watch= in reverse.....

A friend of mine lived in a gated community. One day his house was broken into and, while emptying the place, they found the keys to his SUV and took that too. That same day, the 'security guard' disappeared. The police refused to investigate unless my friend paid them 100,000 baht. Shortly after, he moved back to Australia and his wife was all too happy to join him and get out of her country.

 

Another friend lived alone in Rawai, and within hours of him dying the vultures descended and stripped the place bare, taking his pickup and even the bed he died on.

Lovely people. Morally bankrupt.

They need an incentive offer the cops the keystone ????

Dream home for an elderly woman , my bottom. Only a granny hermit would live here. Cannot blame the thieves for gutting what appears to be a completely abandoned house. 

No excuse for theft but in this case it appears the house owners have been totally negligent.

The cops got their brown envelope, end of story.

Video: Ayutthaya woman appeals to the press after the  police prove to be completely useless

That's not fair.
Useless police is my headline

Most expats are fully aware the RTP are at best lazy / corrupt and incompetent and some dangerously so.

There are many who do try but as training and promotion is linked to in house friendships many go along with the flow led by their mentors, who have over the years managed to stay in the job, by doing just enough and no more.

This then in  beginning to be known to the local population who then complain, which is like talking to deaf and blind person ion a foreign language. A pointless exercise and fraught with danger as the reaction could be far worse from those saintly , public protectors . Who actually think 70% of the population are stupid. 

Leave a property uninhabited at your peril, opportunists are like vultures circling above and watching every move.

I suggest you look at the vid, to see what is was like BEFORE it was gutted.

Don't suppose the cops took any fingerprints.

They didn't even turn up when we were broken into (a wooden window shutter was forced from the outside), all they said was tell us who did it and we'll go and arrest them.

There is a before and after picture. The took all the metal fencing from the garden walls.

Still looked derelict to me before mate. Looks like they bought a cheap ramshackle place to do up - certainly not a place a sane person would think of moving granny straight  into
