Thief swipes 14,000 baht worth of goods from parked car

A recent theft at a bustling market in South Pattaya, Banglamung district, Chon Buri, left a 26 year old woman bereft of her valuables worth over 14,000 baht. The incident unfolded under the cover of darkness on Monday, September 11, with the thief making a swift and unwelcome entry into her parked car.

 

The market, known for its lively atmosphere and a wide array of goods, was where the victim, Tanasarn, ran her clothing store. She arrived there around 5.30pm, as was her routine, looking forward to another day of business.

 

With her car parked securely, or so she thought, she stepped into the market, oblivious of the unfortunate series of events that were about to unfold, reported The Pattaya News.

 

However, the normalcy of the day took a drastic turn when she returned to her car later that night. She was greeted by a sight that made her heart sink – her black shoulder bag, previously resting on the front passenger seat, was nowhere to be found.

Locked? Bag on front seat? Broken windows? Signs of break-in? INSURED?

Leaving a bag on the front seat is just an invitation for a thief, same as a laptop or any item of value. Lock them in the boot/trunk.

How is this news? This happens all over the world, every day. This is not worthy of dissemination. This is a non event.

Another one blaming the victim and effectively exonerating the thief.

It's being a realist instead of looking at the world through rose coloured glasses. The bottom line is if her valuables were out of sight they wouldn't have been stolen, simple as that.

If the victim is an idiot then yes more likely to get robbed.

So not a smash a grab... an opportunity type theft. Good to know

Oh what's the point. Get a darker tint lady hard to look out when driving but hey from outside you can't look in.

I think it's intended to highlight the fortitude of the victim. The theft occurred under cover of darkness and she stood next to her car all night until dawn next day to ensure enough light for a feeble pointing picture????
