drunk maybe... but sober enough to know the quality. ... stealing is one thing but can you deal with getting caught and the penalty that goes with it? thats the real question

Sent from my GT-N7000 using Thaivisa Connect App

At least he was thinking big...unlike like the B300 sock thief of a couple weeks ago.

It's hardly a bank heist

I wonder how many of these petty thieves, take the flight off the top floor, when they find out that everyone in their home county can see their photo and story in the papers! Almost as bad as being robbed by a ladyboy, and having their pics together at the police station!

The real crime is 7000 baht for 3 findig wallets.

7,000 Baht for 3 wallets ....Now that is stealing

Perhaps he can't break his homeland habits.

I'm sure he could have afforded them. He must have a lot of money if he needed 3 wallets to keep it all in

Well done to the staff of Findig/ Udom Aag. Wonder how they managed to detain him till the BIB arrived ?
