They suspected that the thief might have been one of the customers who had frequented the shop and known the password of the safe.

Or the owner, his employees, wife, Mia Noi, brother in law, laan.....or maybe a sniper?

How would a customer know the password to more than one million Euros?

Is it the same gold shop owner who'd "forgotten" a fortune in form of gold in a Bangkok taxi many moons ago?

Sherlock's already informed-

Edited for spell check investigations

So that's where that Canadian got his Sin Sot to give the wife's family in Roi Et. Making sense now.

Does anybody know a good lawyer in Ubon Ratchathani?-

Tomorrow we'll see a news article about how a wealthy businessman has just paid the tax on his imported luxury cars, using 40million baht worth of gold lol

30% more - must be really nice said the insurance guy.

It seems that zeros and decimal points give a lot of trouble to people, depending on what benifit they preceive receiving.

The larger the number thrown out, seems to create more misunderstanding in prespective as to real value, but it seems to heightens the respect given to those involved.

Values thrown out seem to be similar to what is seen as beautiful, its in the eyes of the beholder, or in this case the non holder.

So that's where that Canadian got his Sin Sot to give the wife's family in Roi Et. Making sense now.

Easy on the Canuck, thank you.

Heard through another news source the owner divorced her husband a year ago. He had full access to her shop. My guess he did it.
