Popular Post webfact Posted December 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2023 A 47 year old Danish man was on 18 November 2023 apprehended in Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport on charges of stealing an expensive Celine handbag and five less expensive items in the bag. Total value 94.500 THB. Yesterday, Wednesday 27 December 2023, he appeared for the first time in a court meeting. In the presence of a Danish interpreter he met online for the first time with the lawyer that the court had assigned to him since he did not have his own lawyer. It was over a month since he was arrested, and he wanted first of all the prosecutors indictment translated into Danish so he could understand exactly what he was accused of. Secondly, he was eager to explain what happened that night. Behind him was a room filled with people sitting on the floor waiting for their turn to appear before the camera. Briefly, he was by mistake in the wrong airport. He also was sick with an upset stomach. The first thing he did when his taxi reached the airport was to visit a toilet. When he emerged from that, he saw the black handbag on the floor and thought he should help return it to the owner. He picked up the bag. Then his stomach movements forced him to quickly retreat into a handicap toilet with his suitcase and his backpack – and the handbag. by Gregers Møller Top: Criminal in handcuffs.

Popular Post hotchilli Posted December 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2023 From the link: Briefly, he was by mistake in the wrong airport. He also was sick with an upset stomach. The first thing he did when his taxi reached the airport was to visit a toilet. When he emerged from that, he saw the black handbag on the floor and thought he should help return it to the owner. He picked up the bag. Then his stomach movements forced him to quickly retreat into a handicap toilet with his suitcase and his backpack – and the handbag. In the toilet, his backpack opened and spilled all the content out on the floor. After his business in the toilet he scraped everything back into the backpack – including the black bag – and realizing he was in the wrong airport, he hurried out to catch a taxi to go to Don Mueang airport. Completely forgetting that he also had the handbag he had found and its content in his backpack. Nice try... 1 1 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, not a good idea. When doing my first 90 day report with my gf waiting she picked up a wallet and handed it in. The owner was contacted and when he checked his wallet said there was money missing. My gf was held by the police until I'd finished my report then they escorted me to where she was held. When I arrived it seemed that having a farang bf was proof enough that she hadn't emptied the wallet and they let her go.

According to the Dane, he's had something that disagreed with his stomach but I think it wasn't just bacon. To make up a porkie like this, it might have been a large meal of pork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple internet search shows Celine handbags retailing for thousands of dollars. Purchased by either rich people or people who try to look rich. Otherwise serves the same purpose as a twenty dollar bag. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
