Popular Post snoop1130 Posted July 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2023 Immigration Bureau officers acted swiftly to arrest a Singaporean man at Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok after he stole belongings and 100,000 baht in cash from a German man. It took officers less than an hour to apprehend the thief who tried to flee the country with his stolen haul. Immigration officers received a complaint about the Singaporean thief, from a hotel in Pattaya yesterday, July 10. According to the hotel, a German guest had entrusted them with his valuables, including 100,000 baht in cash, a laptop, and his passport. The Singaporean thief approached the hotel staff, deceitfully claiming ownership of the items, and managed to walk away with everything before checking out of the hotel. Officers discovered that the Singaporean was travelling to Don Mueang Airport to return to Singapore. At 4.35pm on the same day, officers managed to arrest the man. All of the stolen assets were seized and returned to the German victim.

I would never trust them. Some want keys when you go out. No way, they leave desk unattended. The german guy should buy a laptop bag, carry it with him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dome Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Thr victim was way too trusting regarding the hotel's ability to always identify him ands the real owner through all staff changes. I could never be this trusting but tend to play "Best/worst scenario" in my head and here "worst" would always win. He's lucky he got his stuff back. The question is, how did the Singaporean know that the victim had done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me they didn't know each other and the thief spotted a brazen opportunity but that's unproven as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that the Singaporean man had befriended the German who then entrusted him with the stuff. They had to assume the man was The German mans partner or butler or something.
