Popular Post snoop1130 Posted May 24 Popular Post Share Posted May 24 A Thai delivery woman has reported a loss of 2 million baht worth of gold. Pailin Kaewphet, 58, claimed she lost the gold while transporting it from one gold shop to another in Bangkok. Kaewphet reported the loss to Bang Yi Khan Police Station yesterday, stating she misplaced gold necklaces and gold bars near a pedestrian bridge outside a Lotus's supermarket in the Bangkok Noi district. She explained that she was carrying the valuable items in her tote bag, which included her purse, ID card, along with the gold, and it went missing during a motorcycle taxi ride. Initial suspicions of theft were raised against Kaewphet. However, after examining security camera footage, officials confirmed that she did drop her bag at the specified spot. They have yet to identify who took it. Chaiyaporn Jariyadham, the owner of the gold shop in Phetchaburi, provided further information about the situation. Having operated the shop for nearly 30 years and having known Kaewphet for more than 10 years, he expressed confidence in her, mentioning she has worked at a Bangkok gold shop for over 25 years without any issue. Despite the incident, Jariyadham stated he saw no suspicious behavior in Kaewphet. He asked her if there were any personal financial issues that could have led her to steal the gold, to which she denied. Jariyadham is now offering a reward of 100,000 baht for the return of the lost gold.

Popular Post ChumpChange Posted May 25 Popular Post Share Posted May 25 There is a possibility that she dropped the bag in that spot intentionally and that it was then picked up by someone who she was working with to commit the crime. Of course she might also be innocent, but all possibilities should be investigated. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put it past a Thai to do that. maybe it was her and she planned the whole thing. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should never have let a single female member of staff carry 2M baht worth of gold in the first place. Especially if she didn't have transport and was expected to get a motorcycle taxi. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on who finds it though. Some may not return it, but many Thais wouldn't keep something big and valuable like that. They would feel for the loss of the other party and wouldn't want the bad Kharma from keeping it. They would also worry about the shame of possibly get caught with it later if they kept it. There have been many stories over the years of a foreigner accidentally leaving a large sum of cash in a taxi and the taxi driver having returned it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
