Kerryd Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Hmmm, "in the early hours". Pretty vague description. I guess he was just out for a casual stroll, getting a bit of fresh air. Wonder what they used, that was able to knock him out so quickly, yet he was able to wake up "moments later". Pretty skillful thieves to, to be able to knock him out, grab his money and phone from his trouser pocket, and disappear in "moments" with no witnesses. (Which is not likely. I don't think I've ever seen the area near the entrance to WS void of people, at any hour. More likely is that there were witnesses, but none who were willing to come forward and make a statement. The vague description could also mean he was actually a little further away (say around the parking area near the old pier). Still close to the entrance to WS, but far enough away that there could be fewer witnesses (and coincidentally, more of the kind of people that like to hang out on that side of the street for a certain purpose). Maybe I'm just cynical. My question would be, was he really knocked out and robbed in the fashion described, or was he playing loosy-goosy with some LBs in the area, got pick-pocketed and was scared (ashamed) to admit it ? Being knocked out and robbed would be easier to explain back in the good old UAE. //edit: Justed noticed the clock on the wall of the police station. He was in there making his report around 04:50.

britmaveric Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 He was walking around with 80k in his wallet?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 He was walking around with 80k in his wallet?? You're a much sexier man when you've got 80k in your pocket than 9k. (could have been a missprint, where one rag reported 9k and the other 79k) As for the rest of the story. Hmmm, got to wonder. Anyone came up to me with a piece of cloth and said "here, smell this", I'd be backpedalling in a hurry (especially at 4:30 in the morning, walking along Beach Road). You have no idea what could be on it. It looks like the chap wasn't too happy with having his picture taken either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 He was walking around with 80k in his wallet?? some fukkin wallet No <deleted> ! I had to carry 100k around for a short period, and that was a pretty thick wad. I just folded a 45k wad for fun. Squeezed tight it's 1cm (half an inch) thick. 80k wouldn't be easy to fold and carry in your pocket (where it allegedly was in the first story, along with his phone), or in the wallet. Good thing they only took his money and phone, and not his whole wallet, ID, passport and Chang shirt ! (He had his passport at the police station while making the report) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
