Heartwarming twist: Water park owner forgives thieves, offers job instead

[snoop1130]

 

The owner of Aloha Water Park in the Isaan province of Sakon Nakhon displayed heartwarming humanity to withdraw a complaint against a couple who stole from him and offered them a job.

 

A security camera captured the moment when a 29 year old Thai named Sarawut stole food from a shop at the Aloha Water Park on July 4 while his 43 year old wife, Arun, and seven year old daughter acted as lookouts.

 

Sarawut stole some green tea, evaporated milk, and several other drink ingredients and put them into his tote bag before making a hasty exit on a motorcycle with his family.

 

The owner of the water park, 42 year old Pitsanu Siripongtanakorn, handed over the evidence at Meaung Sakon Nakhon Police Station and the couple were arrested yesterday, July 24, at their rental house in the province.

 

The couple admitted to the crime. Arun revealed that she took her daughter to the water park for the first time. When they were about to leave, they noticed that the shop had no staff members and decided to take advantage of the empty premises.

 

Arun further revealed that she supported her family by selling homemade desserts and stole the ingredients to cut her business costs and make more income.

Who among us would not steal to feed starving children?

There is some who can feel reason not agree. But to be opportunity thief can happen also with no excuse with people not poor or with children. Is maybe Park owner saw reality of parents and young child ? He has earned some true merit anyway.

They have an income, they have a rented property, they can run a motorbike, they have money to visit the waterpark.  Their children aren't starving.

And she stole to subsidise her business, not to give the products to her child.
