Wealthy Norwegian Victim Of Safe Thief

[SDH]

A Norwegian allegedly had the room to his apartment unlocked with a skeleton key and his safe emptied of valuables worth one million baht.

Police were called to a room at Mozart Mansion on Soi Day Night 2 in South Pattaya on October 27, where they found Timo Tapani Porttinen, 53, waiting with a 24-year-old companion, Visutichai Silaklai, a native of Khon Kaen.

Timo Tapani Porttinen (right) and his companion, Visutichai Silaklai, report to police that nearly 1 million baht in valuables was stolen from Timo’s safe.

Inside the room, which was on the top floor of the eight-story apartment block, the officers found that a small safe had been broken open and emptied of its contents. The room had also been ransacked. Police forensic experts were called in to check for fingerprints.

Porttinen told the officers that 6,000 euros, two diamond studded gold rings worth 72,000 baht, 25,000 baht in Thai banknotes, a Cartier watch worth 250,000 baht, a mobile phone worth 11,000 baht, a diamond studded gold bracelet worth over 200,000 baht and another gold bracelet worth 20,000 baht had been taken.

The Norwegian said that he wasn’t really bothered about the stolen valuables as he had 50 million euros in a bank account in Norway and one million baht in a Thai bank account. He was afraid that the thief might return and kill him and that is the reason why he notified police because he has to stay in Thailand for another three months with his boyfriend Visutichai before deciding whether to marry, as they had only known each other seven days.

Officers are still looking for the thief.

I don't know much but I do know if you've got 50 million Euros stashed away that the chances of having to get married to a guy you just met at "Boys R Us" might just be a bit of a white lie!

What a JackAss!!
