no.

 

 

I know. I read that in the original article. The point I was making is that he was likely equipped to commit crime. Not much other use for a thief to be carrying a signal jammer

So he had 187,000 . Where is the rest of the money ? 🤔

Hmm, the police found 187.000, you wonder where the rest disappeared, lol. Ha ha ha.

The thief must have seen the withdrawal. You wouldn't just smash any car window at random hoping to find 1.5 m

 

I'm honestly surprised we do not read of such news more often. 

 

Watch any Bank and we see people carrying large amounts out....

 

I myself have carried 3 Million Baht out of a Bank (car sale) and on numerous other occasions carried more than 1 Million Baht - as per the article, in a brown paper bag... 

 

I was somewhat paranoid and alert on each occasion ensuring I wasn't being 'watched'...  It wouldn't be too hard for criminals to watch the banks and see who's carrying out a 'brown envelope' thats all it takes.

 

The same with Weddings at large fancy hotels - Watch were the envelope money goes...  usually 3 or 4 boxes and a few Million Baht...  (left in someone's car or put in someones room and they go back to the party).

Salute to the good cops, for their swift efficient action.

 

 

Of course - there was 1.5 Million baht...     $$$ in their eyes !!!...   It it were a poor female Burmese labourer who'd been attacked, they would not have moved from their seats.

Legit question.

"to deposit at another branch"?

There is feature named (electronic) transfer.

Maybe he is one of the "show me the money, is it still there" types 🤣

 

Nothing to do with that - sometimes there is no other option...

 

i.e. I sold my car a few years back (3 Million Baht)...   

 

The guy who purchased the car was unable to 'increase' his transfer limit to a 3rd Party Bank Account (different bank) to that amount. 

 

We went to the bank together asked then to make a 'direct transfer to my account' - but was told it would take a few days to 'actually transfer' (and in a car transfer I wasn't going to wait 3 days to receive funds).

 

So, the other guy withdrew the cash, we drove to my bank and paid in the cash into my account....  for those 5-10 mins between banks we were vulnerable. 

 

I can't recall why he didn't get a cashiers check made out - but for some reason that was not an option.

Another tattooed tough guy!

 

Probably needed a pot fix and didn't have the cash.

 

Every time, a scumbag with tattoo victimizes the innocent, social stigma of the tattoo looks like strengthens.

In some countries, it was used as the Criminal ID(numbers of their offences were documented on their body as the inking under the skin).

 

I, myself, don't discriminate others just because they got it though.

Mostly because I have seen quite a few descents straight people with that.

It's nowhere mentioned he's a tourist, he's status is an illegal immigrant

Some banks..no transfers after 2 pm.  Or, if transfered on a Fri. aft. can't get  the funds  until Mon. And some buyers/sellers just want/have  cold cash .   Normal here.
