It was on a big key ring with 4 wheels attached ????

I thought for sure he would be walking around with one of them bridle costumes and that's how they got him...

And out after a Wai and 500 baht fine.

I thought that had finally died out. I was sick of seeing this response to almost all reported crimes and was pleased that it was no longer fashionable.

500 Baht fine and wai was humorous the first few times, but soon got very boring
