Semper Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 he decided to seize the opportunity to steal the bike as he had no forms of transport since his release from prison. Well, back to the clink. Maybe he can get some more tattoos and ponder about his choice of lifestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phronesis Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Reminds me of that motorbike scene in The Great Escape. Young Grit even looks a bit like Steve Mcqueen...except with a better tan... Edited January 25, 2013 by Phronesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayadingo Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 leaving the keys in the ignition..... not a very bright idea either. It is like asking to have your bike nicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar501 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 "The bikes rightful owner, Khun Giratigan aged 28 was called-in to identify the bike and take back possession of the vehicle." In the photo, Khun Giratigan appears to be pointing at the culprit, not the bike. Is that how police conduct ID parades in Thailand? Escort the suspect out in handcuffs, stand him next to the stolen property, and ask the victim to identify the offender....??....?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
