Police in Nonthaburi have been investigating after a real estate businessman reported losing 10 million baht's worth of valuables he left in a fitness center's locker while he exercised.

 

Sathit, 35, - a member - had left a Rolex, gold necklace, amulet and other diamond encrusted jewelry in the locker for his two hour session, reported Thai Rath.

 

On his return everything had gone, it was all worth 10 million baht.

 

It happened at Fitness First in The Mall shopping center on Ngam Wong Wan Road.

 

There is no CCTV trained on the lockers but there is CCTV in the entrance to the lockers' location.

 

Police hope that by studying such angles they can get a lead.

 

There are only two keys - one kept by the customer, one kept by the manager in the office.

 

Police have no theories yet apart from the fairly obvious that it could be a staff member or a fellow fitness guest who saw an opportunity. 

 

Such a theft falls into the category of robbery.

any one stupid enough to put that much cash plus other spendy items into a general public locker has only themselves to blame. I know "blame the victim" some might say, but word "idiot" comes to mind... and why pack all that around any way?

And some go on about hotel safes!

As long as FF has the, ‘We are not responsible for items kept in lockers’ stickers on display then there should be no problem as everything is left at the owner’s risk.

While I agree 100% with what you said I would point out that the reaction if you said similar about an idiot kneeling in the road and then getting hit by a car the reaction would have been biblical... aren't people strange.

Prawit likely stole the rolex.

A ladyboy made off with the gold necklace.

A monk ran off with the amulet.

The residual was probably only imaginery to boost the insurance claim to a nice round 10 million.

There.....solved. RTP can go back to candy crush.????????

Yes but plenty of morons live among us, they need a warning sign on a hot coffee cup to warn them that content is hot.

 

As someone said long time ago, remove warning labels and let nature take its course.

They should be looking for video of what the guy was wearing when he came in too.
