Police arrested a Thai man who discovered 105,000 baht in a purse on the road behind a hospital in the central province of Nakhon Sawan and spent it on drugs, gambling, a new motorcycle and a new mobile phone.

 

A Thai woman, Wannapa Kaewtakun, told ThaiRath that she withdrew the 75,000 baht from an ATM at 8.20pm on September 15 and kept it in her purse along with another 30,000 baht. After withdrawing the money, she went to Sawan Pracharak Hospital to visit a sick friend.

 

Wannapa mentioned that she left her purse in the car because she was afraid of misplacing it but was unaware of how it went missing. The purse contained 105,000 baht in cash, 20 lottery tickets and some personal items.

Lost in translation… one would need to be clairvoyant to know how something went missing ????

Shame a crackhead relieved her of it and not one of those super-duper honest cab drivers we keep hearing about. 
Thailand is still largely a cash society. Very common for office workers n such to draw big money from ATMs. Hope she gets some of it back and perp dries up a bit.
