I'm assuming they left the keys in the bike? that's a bad habit, We pulled up outside Amazon the other morning I stayed in the car and there was a brand new bike along side me with the keys in it, I'm sure people think it doesn't happen, there was a gang going around Rawai some years ago stealing bike/scooters just picking them up on to the back of a truck, 

They stole my wifes brand new Fino still had the red plate on it,

If theft via loading on a pickup presence of a key won't make any difference.

OK. Understood that you are right, from a western perspective. However, it is irksome that Thai people should be penalized for the  thieving behavior of some foreigners. It's like victim blaming.

I admire the ability of Thais to leave their helmets on their bikes, even bags. All the western cities are plagued by both opportunistic and organized thieves. Thailand has a societal norm that  punishes the petty thief. In the west we  say, poor misunderstood dear, run along and don't do it again.

Doesn't take long to take your key out of the ignition and have it with you. Locals steal bikes all the time, understandable yet wrong, because of the lack of good income. That a foreigner did this is strange. Like another said, you see helmets and food left on scooters all the time, which shows that thieves aren't interested in such small items, looking for that key left in the ignition and gone in seconds.

I wonder which cost more, the scooter he stole or the IPhone?

 

Depends on which scooter I guess, Yamaha Grand Filano is not cheap,

Could it be he is working illegally? Sounds like it could be a debt collector. After reading some posts on here I am so amazed at how law abiding Thai people are. Sainted, I'm sure? Not exactly my experience of Thai people.

Partly.

Absolute crap. If the keys are in, stealing is permitted? 

Quality foreigners indeed.

foreigners stay too long, burn through all their money and then start stealing.

 

And blame Thai people.

Quality foreigners from the 1st world.

I said the owner is partly at fault for leaving the keys in the ignition, creating temptation or an opportunity that wouldn't have been there otherwise. It's like flashing cash in a bar or leaving your car running when you go into a store. Partly the owner's fault.
