Report Retired Aussie Officer Loses 40 Million Baht in Phuket Crypto Scam
So, would members agree that the name "Michael Reinecke" is an unusual name? Not Michael, but Reinecke? So, I threw that name into a Google search and up popped this article in The New Zealand Herald. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/three-auckland-men-arrested-for-scamming-trade-me-car-sellers/KIX6DA56BF7IQBMJQETHGZZI3A "Constable Michael Reinecke of Waitakere's Tactical Crime Unit said the cars were often on sold to new buyers before the victim had realised they had been scammed." Now, could it be possible he is from New Zealand, and not Australia. It could also be possible there is another Michael Reinecke in a police department in a State in Australia, but it is an uncommon name. It could be possible they got his rank wrong. It could be possible he was a police officer in both countries. It could be possible we are talking about NZD not AUD. It could also be possible he worked as a police officer in NZ, but retired in Australia for a short while. It could be possible the average cost of housing is a lot cheaper in NZ than in Australian major cities. The article was published in 2016. So, if he was a Constable in 2016, and Constables are a very low rank, that would indicate not a large salary. Also, New Zealand's superannuation system is different to that of Australia's. There was also a Michael Reinecke in a police department in America, but surely the Thai police and the media couldn't be that inaccurate. The irony in the article, if it is him quoted, is he is giving advice to car owners on how not to be scammed. "Check their money is cleared in your bank account before handing over the keys. Don't get pressured into handing over anything you're selling until you're sure you've received the funds for it. A genuine buyer will usually be happy to wait for you to check," Reinecke said. -

Thought my inverter had failed .....
if all your wiring is the same as the first picture, then it is dangerous, and you were lucky you only had a small area burn't. Wiring these days should be enclosed in Electrical PVC (either rigid or flexible), with proper junction boxes. Looking at the photo it could have been 2 wires shorted together or there seem to be lots of rodent/lizard droppings on the ceiling, which could also account for the fault. So my advice would be to spend a bit of money and fix your wiring properly before a larger problem occurs. -

Report Taiwan Stages Massive Air Raid Drills Amid Growing Tensions
Nothing too unusual about that. Cities hold air-raid drills, everyone is to know where their air-raid shelter is located, mine for a period was the underground carpark a few 100 metres from the hotel I was staying. -
