Picture: INN

 

A hapless thief in the south of Thailand picked the wrong person to steal from.

 

It turned out to be the father-in-law of Thailand's most prominent and well know policeman Pol Lt-Gen Surachate "Big Joke" Hakpan, reported INN. 

 

Not surprisingly a large number of senior policemen including the provincial chief were named as having taken part in the arrest of the suspect who broke into the office of an NGV gas station in Muang district of Songkhla.

 

The Lt-Gen hails from Songkhla. His father-in-law owns the gas station. 

 

Sitthichai, 22, was picked up in a room at a nearby resort.

 

He admitted to stealing a gold ring, two amulets, 600 coins and 6 ten baht notes.

They are collectibles and if fairly old are worth than their face value.

If was another person who was robbed maybe he walked still around, but the father in law of a policeman is something different. Family first

Good one! ????????????

The thief will be going to the gallows for sure lol.

I have no idea of value but I live in hope! I have these 10 and 5 baht notes in my banknote collection:-

 

 

If you're going to screw-up might as well go all out.

All the cops involved probably cost more than this hapless kids haul.
