I understand that. 

 

It's us co-owners paying. 

 

It's dishonest, unethical, dishonorable, immoral. 

It's theft. 

So then those using the Air con in the play room, the small gym, using the sauna who are not co-owners but live there are thieves as well .......your view is so narrow and if you get wadded up over a few baht then I really feels for you, must be killing you to think of missing out on that 1 bottle of water per month it's costing you.  You really are a champ.

So, can anyone ride the scooters being charged? I thought not. 

 

While it is stealing, I imagine people do it for convenance than anything else.

 

Electricity is not real cheap, and charging batteries generally takes a good bit of it. 

 

A few would not be a problem, but left unchecked it could be, not just the cost, but if non-owners are stealing electricity, they are taking up space as well. 

 

After a while, more receptacles are needed, and guys start getting creative...

I'm not talking about these items that were here before we bought condos. 

 

If the developer said I would be paying for all the miserable old codgers who are too cheap to pay for his electricity to charge his EV, I could then choose to buy or not to buy. 

 

I was not told about these thieves when I purchased.

If he can't charge it from his own metered power outlet he shouldn't buy an EV.

The only thing he saves is his own money.

Would you be stupid enough to confront a thief? 

 

It's pointless, most thieves are uneducated, unethical, unapproachable.

You're a damm antagonizer, go away.

 

If you read my initial posting I said before you know it there will be 100 of these unsafe Chinese vehicles in our car park charging from common area outlets.

 

Please don't comment any more you are making yourself look foolish and you really are being a child by replying without reading.

 

STOP wasting my time child.

A good reason to buy a dry powder fire extinguisher.

So many AN forum members are keen to offer good advice, so much knowledge here. 

 

Thailand has been my home for more than 20 years, I started coming to Thailand in my 20's, now in my 50's. Working offshore in different countries, monthly international flights, I made Thailand my home for convenience.

I'm just about done with my goals and achievements so I don't need to ask questions, I've learnt so much the hard way. 

 

I posted and asked a fair question, it really confuses me to see this type of theft, probably because my values are different to those of others. 

I should have know I'd be badgered with hostility and anger from some members, it seems some members are only here to hate. 

 

Some of the AN members reminds me of Statler and Waldorf, the pair of Muppet characters. I reckon similar age group to. 

Always with their cantankerous opinions.

Never willing to discuss issues that they find difficult and that they don't understand only here to be annoying. 

Consistently heckling, antagonizing, repetitive with their jeered hostile replies. 

The similarities are endless

Why whine about so-called thieves that 'steal' less than 1 baht per month (if very few condo units where you bought your unit) Now if there's 300-500-1,000 units, it would be down to Satang for each owner.  Per Year!

 

Think about that for a minute, let it sink in. Sitting here for weeks, arguing, name calling and my fav: 'go away'. You come across as ... well I don't want to write it.

Life and the world has way bigger problems, and this is not the time for pity "satang theft".

Get real.

 

NO ev-scooter get charged daily. Nonsense. 40-50 km on 1 charge, meaning less than 1 charge per week. Charge daily and batteries are dead within 3 months, guaranteed.

Riding position on these tiny things are uncomfortable, no one in their right mind use it for anything else than to 7eleven, laundry shop etc, in their area.

 

I'm sure you be back, when all WE condo owners has to pay for fireproof charging stations. Now, THAT will be a amount many will be moaning and whining about!

 

Can't stop evolution, and if you really so miserable for a few Satang "theft" as you call it, sell and move to another building that don't allow ev-scooters, they do exist!  For now!

Problem solved.

[ThailandRyan]

But, but, but, but they are stealing from him.......Not.

Why whine about so-called thieves

I posted a fair question, it became a whine once the immoral members, the penny pinches, the scroogers, tight-@rses, the ones with values different to mine came on board trying to justify this theft.

 

I was born in Sydney and grew up in a leafy suburb. When I was in high school I worked evenings, selling newspapers and pushing shopping trolleys. I've worked all my life, my company sends me on regular training courses keeping skilled. 

Growing up both my parents worked, they would always tell me and my siblings, work hard because the aged pension is just for those who have never worked, never had a job, who don't have savings, it's for the dole bludgers.

I came to live in Thailand many years ago, I see alot of these people, people living here in Thailand on welfare and it makes me think how people on the aged pension can survive and live comfortably in Thailand. Yes, Thailand is affordable but is it a happy life for those without savings, on the aged pension, the little bit of money the government gives you, is this the reason behind this unethical behavior, people think it's OK to steal? 

I prefer have money to buy the comforts in life for me and my family, go to the restaurants I like, to travel to different places and live well, owning several, houses, condos, vehicles, cars and motorbikes

 

I'm sure my values are different to those of some of the ex-dole bludgers who are on aged pensions that choose to live in Thailand. 

 

Some may think it's OK to behave unethically, immoraly, actions that are against social norms or acts that are considered unacceptable to the public, like cheating on your spouse, plugging their personal items in communal outlets, to eat food before paying at the checkout, etc. 

The world is is full of very different people, same regarding AN members, different people (poor cheap souls).
