A Udon Thani homeowner was left in shock yesterday when he returned to find his luxury home ransacked by a brazen thief.

 

Among the stolen objects are parts from a cherished Rolls-Royce inherited from the homeowner’s grandparents. The incident, which took place in the Soi Jintakam area, is currently under police investigation.

 

Udon Thani police were alerted to a burglary at a residence in Soi Jintakam yesterday, where they discovered a scene of devastation. The homeowner, visibly shaken, led the officers through the house, showing the widespread damage.

Every valuable item had been taken, and the house was left in complete disarray. In a particularly audacious act, the perpetrators had disassembled a motorcycle, taking half of it with them, and had meticulously extracted the wiring from a vintage 1977 Rolls-Royce engine, a family heirloom over 48 years old, leaving the engine behind.

The homeowner, who only occasionally visits the property, was confronted with a scene of chaos. The loss, including extensive damage to the property and stolen items, was estimated to be over 500,000 baht.

 

The homeowner also shared that six months ago, he experienced a similar incident where a mattress was stolen, suggesting the possibility of the same culprits being involved. Despite a report being filed over six months ago, the investigation had not progressed, and no arrests had been made.

 

The homeowner speculated that at least two thieves were involved, operating with a chilling calmness, even taking the time to draw curtains to conceal their actions, reported KhaoSod.

 

In response to the incident, police officials have begun coordinating with forensic teams to collect evidence, including fingerprints that could lead to the offenders.

 

In related news, a theft at a gold shop in Chon Buri Province was foiled when police apprehended a 21 year old factory worker who posed as a customer to steal a gold bracelet.

Luxury home???? looks like a standard 1 storey Thai home to me. After that, thiefs do not have to steal wiring from a 48 year old RR or half a bike engine in a, so called, luxury home. 

Looks suspicious to me, hubcaps and rubber trim on front bumper missing, wiring stolen?  

Something is not quite right about that story 😅

Should have had a decent home security system.

 

A couple of Thai Ridgebacks would have sorted it.

Druggies who will sell the copper wire at the recycling plant to fund their habit.

A friend had his home broken into when he was on a trip back to Aus. All the wiring was pulled off the walls, as was all the visible plastic water pipe. Even the wooden staircase was dismantled for the wood and metal joining plates. Turns out it was the druggie in the house next door who sold all the recyclables for cash.

Big market in these parts for old PVC pipes.

Strange?

Since when did thieves dismantle motor bikes and cars? They just take the whole machine.

The beloved car doesnt look in good shape. Not much love given to it from the photo.

A few disrespectful comments....and no-one ,mentioned that the guy is doing the right thing....pointing.

Its closest relative is likely a loading dock.

No idea, they dont seem the brightest lot as apparently they had it away with a mattress last time......what a load of BS

Car parts stolen to order?

 

What is even stranger is that you leave a valuables including a RR at a property that you only occasionally visit

because driving away in a 1970s era rolls is the height of subtlety,  assuming it runs.
