For about 15 years ago,when I lived in Pattaya,my MC was stolen. I parked on "the Golden mile",went into a bar to look for somebody and was out again in 3-4 minutes. My MC was gone,the MC-taxis,who had there stand where i had parked it,had not seen anything,a policepickup with some MC´s on it,had just passed by,the policeboth did not want to act,I had to file a report.Some time later it was in the news: a band of policemen was found out to be behind most of the thefts!!So it´s nice to read that they now try to catch the thieves although I can not but wonder why it was´t succesful....
