Jingthing Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) If he had paid it, he may have considered charging them with robbery ... The psychology of it is interesting. Wonder if he was thinking, they'll never suspect anyone of stealing a toilet brush. Edited November 30, 2011 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 1,560 baht for a toilet brush? Do people really pay that price? They are about 30 baht in the local market albeit not chrome or gold plated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I reckon this sad-sack Russkie is hoping to flush this incident away. Bad enough to have a rap sheet, even worse to have the word TOILET in it. Ask Larry Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
