Luxury car owner threatens debt collectors with pistol before fleeing

[J Branche]

Top tip.  Immobilize the vehicle first, lift with tow truck, boot wheel, block in with additional vehicles.  Make sure you have visible identification of your authority to reposs vehicle.  Attach repossession documents and begin removal process (inventory interior items, document damage)  Always have one look out.  If threatened with bodily harm back away and notify Police.

 

Next time the entitled bully should understand there are few free rides.

One time a wheel clamp would have helped

How would it have helped?

You can't "speed away" with a wheel clamp attached.

 

Hope this helps.

[Mavideol]

much easier and sure solution could have been used

A gun was produced, now it's a criminal matter !!

Luxury car owner user

This Red Mustang owner must be so happy now his distinctive car is gathering so much attention ????. 

Luckily for him since his face is pixilated no one that knows him will figure out its him that like so many others are living beyond there means ???? 

[cjinchiangrai]

I wonder if round 2 with the RTP will be as exciting? It will be easier to repo the car after he is in jail.

[Ironmike]

It's a Ford mustang which in this country costs over 120,000 dollars but in America there only 30,000 so what is luxury about that heap of crap now the renter will loose his <deleted>box and liberty,,,,moron.

A four banger Mustang is not posh, not a sedan and not luxurious. ????

[Regyai]

Its like an extension of Rock, Paper, Scissors

 

Major calibre pistol always beats masking tape

[ChaiyaTH]

Guess he planned going away for a while, sell the car off for cash, seeing the bag he had with him too.

Ehh those cars are like 3.8-5M baht, if a Mercedes and BMW is called posh, this one is too.

Not if it was a licensed gun, seems he didn't actually point it either, neither threatened to shoot him.

Tow trucks work better than tape... where were the RTP... if I were taping someone's car and that someone may appear at any time I would have backup.

Come on - the guy had a pistol - that's DANGEROUS!

Unpredictably, the car’s owner arrived at the scene, ripped off the papers stuck on one of the doors, displayed a pistol, and sped away.

I guess a wheel clamp is too difficult.

With all the debt from the posers and hi-so wanna be's, the bubble will explode in Thailand like in China. When you spend more then you earn, and obviously at one point cannot repay...it ends up by crashing like the US in the 2000, now China.

 

Default payment can concern anybody from the corporate majors to the somchai or the farang playing it big in a shiny porsche or a shiny new Toyota pickup.

 

The bankers, wealth asset managers, pension managers or developpers just never learn. The whole world pays for their mistakes crimes, when the bubble bursts. At the end of the day, your money is best to have in cash, safely tucked in a nice individual safe, in a nice bank in  Switzerland.

A Mustang is considered a luxury car!? That's funny???? It's a nice car, but it sure isn't a luxury car!

It costs a fortune here compared to the US

[Enoon]

The alleged repo-men playing around with masking tape to discourage use of the vehicle is ******* absurd.

 

I believe "Red Skull" has set up fake, click bait, incidents before.

 

I will consider this to be another one of those until someone comes along with information to prove otherwise.

 

Highly likely that, given the Thai propensity for "copy", the producers were inspired by the recent, armed, "Kuwaiti Hold Up" in Pattaya.

If they can pay the cops here to be at school crossings, they can pay cops to be at repo's, money talks.

Criminal if the user threatens to shoot them.

It is a bit late looking for an armed policeman at that point.

It doesn't matter that much if the pistol is licensed or not.

 

He most probably does not have a licence to carry it, especially in a public place, and the street IS a public place where the car was parked.

 

Nor does it take much to lift the pistol into a firing position and pull the trigger.

 

Why are you making excuses for him?

[DJ54]

I think a Mustang with a luxury price…. Not a luxury car imo

In Thailand a car won't considered  luxury by make/model, but the "price" will. Perhaps 5M. ???? A Jeep Sahara is a Luxury as well ????

When I read the story I thought a ferrari,but only a mustang.but a gun is good reason to walk away,as a previous comment a wheel clamp or tow truck would have been better to take it

[d2b2]

Posh sedan? Posh sedan,said no one, anywhere, ever about a Ford Mustand

'Luxurious' and 'posh' too....  ????????????

[aussienam]

Hmm, yeah that will work.  Pull a gun on the debt collectors/repossessors.  No repercussions expected by this fool. Oh yeah, fleeing with the car will work.   All he has done is delay the inevitable plus multiplied the problems he has. Lose the car and prison on top.  Idiot. 

[phetphet]

Even if he pays the outstanding debt now that he knows the repo company are on to him, it's unlikely he will have much chance to drive it with the police after him for a gun crime. 

[shotover]

The finance company should hire Repo agents who are more intimidating than these 2 bozos wearing the garish flower shirt and bright yellow pants.  The debtor didn't need a weapon to brush these 2 masking tape artists off.
