chicowoodduck Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Could it not be that someone accidently bumped into you, your money fell out and a kindly Indian chap pointed it out to you?No? I suppose not . . . Actually I think that there are pic pockets in Thailand (and throughout the world) and I appreciate the OP giving the rest of us a heads up. When anyone bumps into me, the first thing I check is to see if my wallet is still in my pocket Tell Santa I said hi I just wear a small money belt, carry a small amount of "ready cash," and try to remain sober on any day ending in "y."

mellow1 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 It could be worse.....In California Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.- Twenty-five leaders and associates of the Vagos motorcycle club were arrested following one of the largest coordinated law enforcement probes ever conducted in Southern California, authorities said. Thursday's operation involved 700 personnel from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and local police and sheriff's departments. "The Vagos are a ruthless criminal biker gang that virtually held our communities hostage" by dealing in "guns, drugs and death," said John Torres, a special agent in charge with the ATF. "Operation 22 Green," as it was called, targeted Vagos associates in five Southern California counties. Green is the club's chosen color and 22 corresponds to V, the 22nd letter of the alphabet. More than 80 search and arrest warrants were issued and 25 people were taken into custody Thursday on federal or state charges that included firearms and drug violations. Another five people already were in custody. The vice president, Ryan Matteson, 29, was arrested for investigation of murder in connection with a home invasion robbery in Lucerne Valley where three people were robbed and one was killed, authorities said. In a statement, Torres said investigators seized 95 illegal firearms, some illegal drugs, $6,000 in cash and two stolen motorcycles. Vagos (pronounced VAH'-gohs), whose patch includes the Norse god of mischief Loki, was founded in San Bernardino in the 1960s. The Spanish name means "traveling gypsy" or "a street-wise person that's always up to something," according to the club Web site. In San Bernardino County, two murder cases and two attempted-murder cases have been filed against Vagos associates or members, Ramos said. Glad the US government is busting people like this. I notice in the newspapers ( and TV as well) , that many times attention is drawn towards the going ons in the US. Be it crime, politics,etc... I have figured out why, by reading threads like this, where many people reassure me that there is nothing like this is happening in the LOS, and therefore they have to look for news somewhere else. Pickpockets as well as any other negative aspects of this society, are only paranoid figments of the imagination of certain malcontent Farangs, who are trying to install similar negative propaganda in other people, in the attempt to slander a beautiful and peaceful country and society. I hope that the defenders of the realm, will continue their much appreciated struggle, in setting these malcontents straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Last year I posted about the Filipino con artist along Sukumvit road. I received many replies confiming they were in fact Filipino's but a few poster wanted to know how I was so certain they were Filipinos. They wanted to know if I had checked their passports! Well I guess we could ask the OP the same question about those Indian pickpockets. How did you assume they were Indians? Did you in fact see their passports or identity cards? They could have been Pakistani or Bangladsi. Why didn't you ask the gentleman that helped you for his passport so you could confim their identity before you smeared all the Indians as pickpockets! I suggest that you return to the area where this happened and try to locate one of the gang and then make a positive check of his nationality and report back to TV that they are in fact Indians.

tartempion Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Amazing, some one posts about a pickpocket attempt and he is jumped on by goons that accuse him of writing fiction novels. What do you spend your time doing guys ? I bet you sit there watching every new post dying for an opportunity to be bloody obnoxious....move away from the keyboard and get a bloody life. Indeed, what a load of crap some of us must endure on this baoard , including Bendix's socalled sarcasm On a sunny morning at the Barcelona Ramblas I witnessed an honest man throwing a wallet to a dog who ran off with the wallet. He repeated this gesture many times, the dog coming back and handing the wallet over and over again. Must have been some rehearsal for a spanish movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keemapoot Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I mentioned earlier in this thread that this is a very REAL scam. It's been done many places in the world. Mostly it's done on escalators because the force of the moving walkway propels you into the sprawled scamster in front, whilst the 2nd bad guy pretends to help you up, but really helps himself to your pocket contents. I haven't heard of this in Bangkok before though, but it pays to be aware of your surroundings on public walkways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveDaBlues Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I was about to go shopping with a Belgian friend so went to an outside ATM and took out 10k THB put it in my pocket on my thigh which is velcroed. Never thought anything about it as I have carried much more than this about nearly every day I have ever been in Bangkok going back 15 years.We then went up some stairs and all of a sudden an Indian guy bent down and fiddled with his shoe or something and I went straight into him. While he tried to apologise I felt and heard the velcro go. As I looked up I saw and Indian women in a black sari along with an indian man hurrying up the stairs (the guy who bent down was with a woman too). I immediately fely my leg and shouted at the Thai's at the top to stop them. The 4 I could see in front of me looked a little paniced as they heard my poor Thai shouting Indian thieves. As soon as people were noticing another Indian guy behind me (also with a woman) ta[pped me on the should and said very politely, "Sir you have just dropped your money" - it was all over the stairs. As I bent down to pick it up the 6 of them scarpered. They were lucky as the Thai security later were obviously sad they could not have used their batons on them. Some other Thai's in the area said others had lost money that way but no-one knew who it was I have also seen how they would have been treated at Lumpini cop shop after spending time there with my ex missus after she had been assaulted by an indian (wonder if he is still there trying to find the half a million THB) I was lucky it was early in the day and not too busy so a crowding around me was noticeable. I told my Indian pal at work when I got back and she told me a hundred tales - she said a lot of them operate at a shopping mall she took me to in Mumbai last year. Could it not be that someone accidently bumped into you, your money fell out and a kindly Indian chap pointed it out to you?No? I suppose not . . . I guess an 'unseen' force released the velcro and the cash gleefully jumped out of it's pocket prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John K Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 This is the same group that has been at it before. Don’t be afraid to break their fingers, others have. I doubt they will get sympathy from anyone. That tends to keep them away for a while until they heal. The ones with the flowers are the worst ones, two of them rush up to you and get well within your comfort envelop. Watch the one that is not talking to you. Give them the evil eye and walk towards them like you know they hit you, they will run like crazy. I frequently eat on soi Nana and now when they see me coming they run in the other direction. The power of suggestion is marvelous in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
