Presumably after loading the bike onto the car? (Pick-up?)  Pattaya Plod are on the job and expected an arrest from their list of 1,324,408 suspects living locally.

When items are stolen in Thailand  motorbikes are sold to 'chopshops'  and broken down for spares. Other items are sold to pawn shops. The police never take action for receiving stolen goods to these places. This encourages theft as the thief has a ready cash market for stolen goods without questions or paperwork.
