Last night, a 37 year old truck driver from Buriram province was stunned when he woke up to find part of his truckload of coffee missing. Having left the Nong Khae Industrial Estate in Saraburi province to deliver the popular brand of coffee to Khon Kaen province, Thien had parked by Mitraphap Road in Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima, due to exhaustion.

 

The driver, Thien Saman, stated that he embarked on his delivery journey with a truckload of famous coffee products, sourced from Nong Khae Industrial Estate in Saraburi province, intending to deliver them to Khon Kaen province. As he approached the Mueang Ma Mile 39-40 on Mitraphap Road, in the Phaya Yen sub-district of Pak Chong district in Nakhon Ratchasima province, he felt tiredness take over, compelling him to pull over and rest by the roadside starting at 11.50pm until 4am.

 

Upon waking up, he was shocked to find the tarp at the back of his truck had been slashed with a sharp object. A further examination revealed that around 120 boxes of coffee were missing from the vehicle, KhaoSod reported. Thien added that it was typically safe for him to rest alongside Kam Thale So sub-district, Nakhon Ratchasima province, but due to being late this time, he decided to park in what seemed like a safe spot, thanks to the surrounding street lights.

I hope the boss doesn't sack him...

Poor guy.

He did the right thing and was robbed.

Somehow, I suspect an inside job.

Ironically, had he drunk coffee, the caffeine might have suppressed the urge to sleep.
