The police think the thieves live locally?

They are probably in Phuket now on their holidays.

2,500 Australian Dollars and 11,000 Thai Baht = Not exactly a large sum of cash. Nothing wrong to keep it in a safe in your rented apartment.

Until it gets stolen

Bank safes are a little bigger than your average room safe...but glad you're so cashed-up that you consider AUS$ 2500 a trivial amount
