A construction contractor experienced an unexpected blow when a recently hired worker stole the company’s pickup truck after just five days on the job. News broke on Facebook that the thief drove off in the stolen bronze-coloured Isuzu D-Max. The owner of the construction company has offered a reward for anyone connecting him to the lost vehicle.

 

Caught on surveillance footage, Veerasak Pengprasit, also known as Ball, was seen casually walking to the pickup truck and using a remote to unlock it. As soon as the lights flashed, he quickly jumped in and sped off. At the scene of the crime, the 35 year old contractor Jirayuth Kempanya was tracked down and found in his home on Huay Kapi 18 Road, Chon Buri province, reported KhaoSod. Jirayuth said…

 

“I hired Ball because he said he had lost his job. I gave him work so he could earn a living. However, only five days into the job, he stole the pickup truck that I used for transporting materials for work. This has put me in a tight spot as I don’t have a vehicle to purchase and transport material for work.”

The well worn phrase 'no good deed goes unpunished' rings so true here.

i presume the contractor will now kick Ball into the long grass and hire someone more trustworthy.

 

This story will roll on for a while.
