Likely inside job...check the wifey's relatives' houses and see if anyone has bought new or acquired semi-used appliances recently

Terrible reporting.

Why not ask some questions of the victims?

It was an inside job just like his first break in.

The police will never catch anyone because it was Thai on farang robbery.

If it had been a Thai home and farang wife they would be searching and questioning every farang the couple knows.

Please Pattaya One give us more details and follow up.

The headline reads like the Danish man committed the crime.

Caught up? Hes a Victim.

I think the guy needs to invest in a pair of glasses.

seriously. the journalism in this town sucks. there i said it.
