EyesWideOpen Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 It would be a lot of fun to quietly hide a GPS tracking chip in one of these cars, and see where they end up... :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALFREDO Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Am still a bit confused by the concept of torching such expensive cars. I believe, it just was an accident, something on the truck, trailer started the fire, the Sport Luxury Cars caught the fire to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dighambara Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I read a report on the customs department in a magazine. They said they are basically legalized corruption. Great way to sum this department up. Quite true. Anything held by customs for any reason, if unclaimed may be sold by the customs department with profit going to the officer who held up the shipment. The officer may decline any profit in exchange for the seized goods. A natural incentive for all officiers to hold up anything in customs. Thus, I always keep my international purchases under the 1000 Baht limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaGo Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 It would be a lot of fun to quietly hide a GPS tracking chip in one of these cars, and see where they end up... :-) As long as you had very very tight security to ensure it couldn't be traced back to you. Very dangerous games, best not to poke your nose in to this kind of stuff believe me, "gee whatever happened to EyesWideOpen"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha thanks for worrying about me, but I have other things to do other than to show some low paid government official is driving around a Lambo.... The only thing in Thailand I have ever really been curious about was the whereabouts of the "decorated" Thai policeman who shot the two tourists in Kanchanaburi. Am pretty sure he walked in the front door of the prison, and walked out the back door the following week, but even I do not have the balls to check up on that one..... :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe, it just was an accident, something on the truck, trailer started the fire, the Sport Luxury Cars caught the fire to! Pretty sure you right, think this was a terrible accident. Someone in the other thread had alluded to an insurance fraud, but that does not make sense. Guess we still have to wait to see who the owner is...and wait...and wait 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai at Heart Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Does customs have any proof that these cars are duty unpaid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjhbigv Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Just been watching news on TV with police inspecting the cars....they showed them removing a VIN plate that was covering the original VIN number underneath on either the Ferrari or Lambo! Now we know why no-one came forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
