webfact Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Missing Jewelry Case Reversed as Misunderstanding BANGKOK: -- The special investigation chief has confirmed that stolen jewelry confiscated from a red-shirt protester did not disappear, stating that speculation that it went missing was the result of a mistake in evidence listing. Director-general of the Department of Special Investigation, or DSI, Tharit Pengdit, said his agency along with other involved parties, including the police and the owner of the presumed missing 5 million-baht jewelry, went through the list of confiscated items and discovered that the jewelry was not actually missing, but appeared to be so due to an inaccurate inventory of items received. Tharit said that DSI's procedure for processing all seized items is to photograph and videotape them, while people claiming to be the owner of the stuffs must sign papers of acknowledgment and reclamation. As for progress in bringing terrorism charges against the red-shirt protesters, the DSI chief said his agency has resolved to seek indictment for the group's 26 core elements and it is preparing evidence, which it will submit to public prosecutors for their consideration in deciding whether to bring the cases to court. Tharit said the current detention of red-shirt suspects is nearing the maximum 84 days, but explained that the period can be extended during the prosecutors' review. He went on to say he believes the evidence his agency will present is solid enough to substantiate an indictment . He also said the interrogation of people, businesses and companies suspected of having financed the red-shirt group's illegal protests will be complete on August 9 and the DSI will forward its findings to the Center for the Resolution of Emergency Situation. -- Tan Network 2010-07-28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piengrudee Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Wait a minute, didn't DSI said that the item was NOT in the list. Are they telling us that it was in the list now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animatic Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Wait a minute, didn't DSI said that the item was NOT in the list. Are they telling us that it was in the list now? They items were in the box, but they 'forgot' to notice them when making the list. Or it seems the owner made enough stink, that the items were looked for again and 'found' in the boxes.

webfact Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Missing jewellery found in DSI catalogue By The Nation Items of jewellery supposed to have gone missing while in the custody of the Department of Special Investigation were in fact stored there, according to director-general Tharit Phengdit - but officials and the owner had been confused by the DSI's catalogue system. After a complaint from the Jewellery Siam Centre store that three pieces were missing, all items were recounted piece-by-piece. A duplication in the cataloguing was uncovered which had confused owner Thati Phaisalmankhong into thinking a pair of gold earrings, a gold necklace and a platinum ring had disappeared while in DSI care. The jewellery collection was originally found in Pathum Wanaram and taken into DSI care after allegedly being stolen by red-shirt protestors camped at nearby Rajprasong intersection during the protests in May. DSI arranged the recount involving several parties - Pathum Wan police who seized the items from the temple, military officials of the government's Centre for Resolution of Emergency Situation, and outside witnesses - following a complaint Thati lodged with the Justice Ministry two weeks ago. Thati has denied claiming the three items- now returned to him - were worth Bt5 million, as stated in a press interview by Fuengwit Aniruththewa, a secretary to the justice minister. The jeweller also denied having offered a Bt300,000 reward to anyone who found the missing items. -- The Nation 2010-07-29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brahmburgers Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Memo to authorities: Here's how to inventory small items like jewelry: A. Get a big clean table. B. Make sure there is more than one cop on hand/witnessing the process, as it's too easy for one person to tuck things in his pockets. C. Put all the items on one right side of the table. D. Remove one item at a time, place in middle of the table, and write down its description on paper pad - legibly if possible (a big 'IF'). (note: 10 yrs ago, I sat across from a senior Thai cop who was writing a simple police report on an ancient Thai typewriter. It took him nearly an hour to type half of one page. That fits with Thai schoolchildren's claim that, for them, English is an easier school subject than Thai). E. Photograph each item, if possible/appropriate. F. Place inventoried item in neat pile on left of desk, and proceed to next item from right side of desk. G. When done, place all items in sealed container and sign them in to secure storage place, again with witnesses. H. Disregard above proceedures if mia noi needs attending to, or if golf buddies need another player toot suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toybits Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 So if you were a nobody, would such a mistake have remained unresolved? This is not a small matter. It is indicative of a much bigger problem.

hoaker Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Miraculously found!!!! and now some low level pencil pusher will get the chopping block to save he superiors faces...or asses. Very True. The blame game is what Thai's are very good at. One high rank official can overrule all the truth and real facts. This is Thailand...........
