Rimmer Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 9 Million Baht car stolen from North Pattaya Hotel car-park PATTAYA:--A 9 Million Baht car belonging to the Son of the former Navy Commander-in-Chief was stolen from the car park of a North Pattaya Hotel in the early hours of Sunday. The owner of the brand new Nissan GTR, Khun Tidipan aged 28, had returned to the Hotel after spending the evening at a local Thai Pub and saw that his car had gone. He went straight to Pattaya Police Station to report the theft and did mention to Police that he had left the key in the ignition. Security at the Hotel did mention seeing a man approach the car and without appearing to act in a suspicious manner, he entered the car and drove off. Police are now investigating the case and will attempt to locate the stolen vehicle. They will also send a report of the incident to Khun Tidipan’s Insurance Company Full story:http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/57765/9-million-baht-car-stolen-north-pattaya-hotel-car-park/ -- Pattaya One 2012-06-25 [newsfooter][/newsfooter] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCM Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Maybe he thought, "I'm the son of someone important and nobody will dare to steal my car (even with the key in the ignition)". Edited June 25, 2012 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Those rich parents young Thai's are born with a silver spoon up their arse and gets anything they point at but I bet his father is not a happy trooper right now he-he. Forgot to take the keys and lock the car is outright stupid, maybe the insurance will refuse to pay and sonny boy already reported to the police about the forgotten keys, oh well.

pipo1000 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I doubt it is easily visible from the outside that the key is still in the ignition,unless you really have a look for it. The fact that someone entered the car without acting suspicious indicates that he was well informed that the key was inserted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWalkingMan Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Talk about a high mark-up. I googled Nissan GTR and the starting price is approx 3m Thai baht in The States...

jaapfries Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I doubt it is easily visible from the outside that the key is still in the ignition,unless you really have a look for it. The fact that someone entered the car without acting suspicious indicates that he was well informed that the key was inserted. That; Pipo1000, is precisely what I thought ! The other thing I then realized is that I would not want to be in the shoes of the chap who drove-off in this car . . . . . . They will figure it out and when they do; this guy's life will be worth even less than the keys to that car ! ! ! Bet on it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
