Sounds to me like the bystanders need a big well done. You hear to much negative bs about Thai's looking and doing nothing.

He does get points for creativity, however, as I don't believe we've heard that excuse before

He must have been easy to catch--he was looking everywhere, but at the road. Checking out the girl and then noticing the gold!
