Thai woman offers 2,000 baht reward for thief’s surrender after police inaction

[webfact]

A Thai woman is searching alone for a thief and offering a reward of 2,000 baht if the thief surrenders to her after officers at Bangpho Police Station ignored her case and delayed the investigation processes.

 

The victim, Parichat, lost her wallet to a male thief on December 17 and reported the theft to Bangpho Police Station on the same day. However, the police did not accept her complaint and asked her to find evidence of the theft.

 

Parichat followed all the police instructions, but ten days later she was still unable to file a complaint. So, she posted a picture of the male thief on her Facebook account yesterday, December 27, with a caption that reads…

 

“Thief, please contact me. I am willing to give you 2,000 baht. I am tired of contacting the police. Please return my wallet. Talking to the police is much harder and more tiring than looking for the thief. Let’s return the wallet so you can get more money and avoid a criminal record.”

Police in Thailand are either next to worthless or worse than useless so this is what I would expect.

These brain dead "BiB" will not lift a finger unless there is something in it for em!

 

Back in 2001 I was ripped off, by a hardware supplier, whilst building our home for 30K Baht. Had to pay the BiB 15K to get these pricks to pay  restitution.

Sounds like a job for Big Joke .....

Police are very busy these days. 

I paid a traffic fine the other day at the cop shop. 

 

At the payment booth/Payment counter had 3 cops, 2 cops fast asleep and the one who accepted payment had his mouth full of food.

That's nothing. Thieves broke into the house of my friend and not only stole valuables but his SUV as they found the keys. The same day, the 'security guard' for the housing community vanished. The police refused to investigate unless he bribed them with 100,000 baht. Soon after, he decided to go back to Australia and his Thai wife was happy to leave her cesspit of a country and go with him. I say cesspit, as if you cannot rely on law enforcers the entire structure of society collapses. You have anarchy, where anyone who wants to can break the law and do so with little to no chance of punishment.

How does one named 'Safety First' receive a traffic fine? 🤣

Hopefully this will prove to be a deserved embarrassment to these lazy police.
