I hope someone passes the info of this guy's criminal history along to the Thai Police who are investigating the crime as it shines a whole new light on things!

The safe seems a bit odd. Normally you'd have it secured to something, or have it in a floor or wall. According to the reports they just took it. They'll have to break it open somehow as if they had the key or combination I would assume they would have taken just the money.

It said found in a wardrobe so possibly only secured to the back chipboard panel!

Yes, you could be right. Not a very sensible thing to do.

Most hotels have the sense to cut a hole in the back and secure it to the concrete wall. I saw a video of what appeared to be a thief carrying out the safe and it seemed rather lightweight!
