Thai thief’s muddy caper: Stolen food cupboard’s bizarre journey

[snoop1130]

 

In a truly ‘food for thought‘ incident in Surin’s Isaan province, a baffled Thai homeowner recounted an odd story involving a thief who swiped his food cupboard, only to ditch it nearby, all thanks to an unexpected ‘muddy munch’ venture.

 

The Thai man, Weerayut Choowa, reached out to the Daily News to share his unusual story. Weerayut stated that he’d witnessed a thief stealing sacks of rice and other agricultural products before but he’d never seen a thief steal a food cupboard.

 

The astonished Weerayut explained that he woke up to find his cupboard had disappeared from the kitchen. The theft was all the more puzzling because only leftover food, a rice cooker, and condiments remained inside the cupboard. Weerayut added that the cupboard also had a broken leg.

 

Weerayut revealed that the cupboard was about 1 metre in length and 1.5 metres in height. If the thief acted alone, it would have demanded a lot of effort to transport the item out of his home.

 

Weerayut said he was about the report the theft to the community leader and police when his neighbour stumbled upon the cupboard which was left near his house.

Opportunist thief who later on inspection dumped it.
