Coastal caper: Foreign thief takes a ‘wheely’ wild ride with unattended motorbike in Pattaya

[webfact]

 

In the serene coastal town of Pattaya, a regular day veered off course when an opportunist foreign thief playfully “wheely”-ed away with an unwatched motorbike, melting into the bustling throng. This surprising escapade revved up the pressing query about individual safety and communal security in our day-to-day adventures.

 

The black and white Honda Click 125i motorbike, owned by a woman known as S. Kenyota, vanished under mysterious circumstances in the heart of Pattaya on Third Road. According to her unnamed boyfriend, who told the story to The Pattaya News, the bike was allegedly stolen by an unidentified foreign male.

 

The incident occurred on Saturday, July 22. The motorbike was parked outside the Double Kiss Pool Hall & Sports Lounge situated on Soi 21 in the Nongprue sub-district of Banglamung district, Chon Buri. Unbeknownst to Kenyota, she inadvertently left the key in the ignition, paving the way for the opportunistic foreign thief.

I left the key in a rented motorbike inadvertently 4 times before Thailand was fully back open.  Needless to say I purchased a transponder key motorbike that beeps when I leave it not fully turned off.

If you park your bike near the key, be aware there's transponder key enhancers, put your key in a metal box at night if it's closer than 20-30m
