Popular Post snoop1130 Posted October 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 A security camera caught a foreign couple stealing two motorcycle helmets from a post office welfare house in the northern province of Chiang Mai in a bid to avoid being fined at a police checkpoint. The director of the Mae Ping Post Office, Kraisri Thongwirat, discovered that two helmets belonging to the post office had gone missing yesterday, October 2. The two helmets had been left at his welfare house near the post office. They were red and white and had the Thailand Post logo on them. To track down the thieves, Kraisri checked a security camera at the house and spotted the two foreign thieves on a red Honda Click motorcycle. The motorbike is presumed to be a tourist rental as it had no number plate. In the video, a foreign man was seen parking the motorcycle in front of the welfare house at about 11.20am and entering the premises to steal the helmets. The foreign woman later walked to the front of the house and waited for the man. They helped each other put on the helmets and did not appear to be in a hurry.

Popular Post roger101 Posted October 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 I doubt very much if they stole the helmets. Much more likely that they paid a dishonest Post Office worker for them. They were far to casual. Most thefts you see in the news the thief hurries to get away. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 The mind boggles with the reporting... In the link, a pixellated photo (also used here), then the same article shows the video without any pixellation or masking.... so why pixellate in the first place?

Why do the police allow bikes with no plates on the road ? How could they possibly track the ownership ? First, that scooter has a licence plate, as can be seen already in the pixelated picture and more clearly in the linked video. Beats me why the journalist who wrote the original article had to invent this bit. Second, a brand new two-wheeler has no licence plate until it gets a green book, usually one month. If the police wants they can stop the driver and ask for the dealer receipt, with owner and all. It's not much different for cars, initially they are allowed on the road with a red plate, which is linked to the dealer not the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
