Spalpeen Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm not seeing 5 million baht's worth of gear in the photos. Would it be cynical of me to wonder where that stuff will be this time next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be cynical of me to wonder where that stuff will be this time next week? The worth of the confiscated gear is likely assessed through the cost of the real article v the copies siezed. Things people can do with numbers to make it a bigger bust than it really is, eh?.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potosi Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Funny they always raid shopping malls for fakes, but never factories. Seems that manufacturing fakes is ok, just selling them is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrycallahan Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hope they got the rude ^%$@ who sold me jeans and then cut them too short. Didn't even have me put them on just measured the tape against me and marked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
