At first when people steal there is much shame within their selves, but when they steal over a long time the shame is less and less until they get caught. I guess she will say the devil made me do it?

[OneMoreFarang]

Let the female mayor show how she earned that money and how she paid taxes and exactly when she checked it and exactly how much she counted on these days.

I.e. did she have 20,123,500 THB in her bedroom on the 3-May-2021 and only 18,653,000 THB there on the 4-Feb-2022? Who had access to that room in that time frame?

Proof it!

First question what is the mayor doing with so much

money laying about in her bedroom ? , petty cash ...

There was no suggestion that the money was dodgy, nor that it was "laying around", so it's her business, no one else's.

How much was there exactly ????

Irrelevant.  It was her money and she's the victim, not the accused.

What is she, a robber, a secretary or a house slave. Why is a secretary "working in her formal capacity" in the mayor's house anyway and not based in the formal publicly funded mayoral office setting. Another official using the public purse to fund her personal home based fifedom.

You're overlooking the fact that she had a lot of money stolen from her just so you can whinge with speculative theories about her work practices and an assert that she was abused her office.  Bit 'kin rich.

That "Mayoral secretary" sure looks like a housekeeper in those clothes.  It'd also explain what she's doing at the Mayor's house every day instead of at the office.

Perhaps a maid being being paid for with city funds?

Perhaps she was being paid from the mayor's own funds?

Put it together the secretary knows the skeletons she just wanted her share instead of the minimum wage she was getting

So many "skeletons" that she had no problem reporting the missing money to the police.

She doesn't have to.  It was B10m over years, not "B10m lying around".

Surely any normal person would report the theft immediately?

Small amounts went missing, she had no evidence until the camera was installed, then she reported it.

B10 million stolen over 5 years...  Thats just under 40,000 baht per week.

 

There must have been plenty 'lying around' for the public official not to take action far earlier. 

 

Most people would notice 40,000 Baht stolen each week unless the source from which the money taken was already significant enough for those amounts not to be so easily noticeable. 

 

Thus: It could be assumed that there was in fact hundreds of thousands of baht present from which the theft of a 10’s of thousands of baht each week or every few days was not easily noticeable.

Odd how so many posters think that the victim here is the bad guy and are ignoring the multi-million baht thieving secretary.

 Evidence.  That's why she had the camera installed, got the evidence and then reported the thefts.

Just outrageously moronic with your counter response to every members comments of the obvious... 

 

... This is a lot of money for a public official to have.

In a country with so much open corruption this raises the eyebrows of the vast majority of those who have read this thread....

The multi-million baht thieving secretary has already been caught - she is a thief and is being charged - no one contests this or justifies her actions. 

 

There is also another facet of the story which was ‘glossed over’ in the main article but stood out like the proverbial 'elephant in the room’ to all (most) who read this story (except you).....    

.... This is a lot of money for a public official to have squirrelled away in her home.

 

I don’t believe you are stupid enough not to recognise this, but you are instead choosing to attack the valid questions posters have raised about the source of an officials funds.

You really are being obtuse.. 

 

The thefts took place over 5 years.. at which point did she start noticing and installed the cameras ? certainly not for the first 4 years otherwise the issue would have been dealt with earlier... 

 

Thus, as I wrote: There must have been plenty 'lying around' for the public official not to take action far earlier... (i.e. within the few weeks of this theft).

Never said it was dodgy , so it was all in a safe ?, but in picture you see

maid going through purse , maybe the tax man might be interested , 

 

How are you managing on here now ,without your favourite SAD emoji,????

Yes. What's the mayors base salary?

My mrs worked as an accounts clerk in Thailand on 216,000baht/annum, (outer Bangkok province), so what would a mayor be drawing a salary of annually, (before bribes and embezzlements), 1.5mill???

I'm old and my brain is baaaaaaaaaaaaaad and my maths got bad bad.

 

let's say she stole 5000.    10 million baht gone.

 

That's 2000

 

TWO THOUSAND times she has to steal and not get caught

 

how would not not know 5000 is missing 2,000 times?

 

sure, sometimes I don't know if I had 1000 more or less and I don't care.

 

I'd know if I had 5000 less.  And if this happened 2 or 3 times I'd be way more careful and think a little more

 

2000 times.......yea, ok

 

the only way is it needs a little washed and she knows this....and he knows she knows....and whatever.

 

let's say the obvious....for fun.....there's more to this story we will never know!!!! 

And just lying randomly all over the the bedroom - not in a safe? Sounds like the Mayor is awfully well paid in Chonburi!

She's  not a Governor and I doubt that an official in charge of a sub-district is a 'Mayor'

 Sunanta was clearly seen rummaging all over her boss’s bedroom and stealing money every day for over 21 times," 

So "all over her bedroom" isn't the same as "laying around"?

That's all you seem to be suggesting.  What does it matter how it was kept and why would you suggest that the taxman would be interested in the cash if you weren't hinting that it was dodgy.

Just your opinion.   Funny how having a differing, rational opinion is construed as "arguing for argument's sake".

No, obviously, it is not.  That quote referenced the maid's action in searching, completely different from saying that the cash was just laying around.
