webfact Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 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. Picture: Daily News 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. Picture: Daily News 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. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-07-09 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post edwinchester Posted July 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2022 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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgrahmm Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) 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..... Edited July 9, 2022 by pgrahmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted July 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2022 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. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Paul KNIGHT Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
