A Thai man lost an 800,000 baht pickup truck to a woman he met after only two weeks of dating. The woman is suspected of being a member of a car theft gang that stole vehicles in neighbouring countries.

 

The victim, a 47 year old man named Bancha, reported the theft to Mueang Chaiyaphum Police Station today, November 23. Bancha said his ex-girlfriend, 33 year old Pantiwa, stole his brand new car from a showroom in the Isaan province of Chaiyaphum after he paid a 100,000 baht deposit.

 

Bancha said he met Pantiwa two weeks before the incident through a dating application. Pantiwa told him that she wanted to marry him. She later met his mother at his home to discuss the wedding.


Pantiwa explained that she wanted to stay with Bancha and try living together before marriage. Pantiwa then convinced him to buy a new car and quit his job as a security guard to go into business with her. He agreed and they went to buy the pickup together.

I admit she sounds suspicious ,  But how does he know she stole the truck?

I see nothing in this article that is proof she took it. Just some circumstantial evidence that she was gone, at the same time that his pickup was gone. 

All the broken glass in the showroom!

2 weeks, what took him so long?  I know someone in Pattaya who bought a girl a condo after one week.

 

Must be why a masseuse asked me to buy her a condo after one massage. 

A lot of suckers out there.

 "Pantiwa grabbed the car key from a showroom staff member and drove off". You need to read the full article from where Asan copied it from.

She's a bit like pick-up drivers.. they don't hang around.

Maybe this from the link will help you.

 

 After paying, Pantiwa grabbed the car key from a showroom staff member and drove off, leaving Bancha shocked and confused.

Bancha jumped into his car and followed her but was unable to keep up. He returned to the showroom to track Pantiwa using the car’s GPS. The system indicated that Pantiwa was in the Baan Ped district of Khon Kaen province but she and the car were not there. She simply removed the GPS and left it there.

The car showroom security camera showed that the woman picked up a man from the front of the showroom before continuing her journey.

Thanks , I appreciated the link. Same point was made by Croccy  earlier on the thread, but I understand how you did not see it, I also don't read every reply in a thread. 

I should had read the link also before replying.  To my defence I did not even see that there was a link. 

So I adhered to the Asean now forum time honored tradition of not allowing the facts to get in the way of a good reply:laugh:

So technically she stole it from the dealer, not the boyfriend. The key wasn't handed over yet. 

I hope he gets a good lawyer because the dealer still owes him a truck, since it was never handed over. 🤔
