Local residents were able to recognize Mr Surapol in the pictures and directed police to his rented room.When confronted by officers, Mr Surapol confessed.“After I stole the bag, I checked inside. There was nothing but cosmetics, so I just dumped it in someone else’s motorbike basket,” Mr Surapol said.Source: http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket_news/2013/Phuket-security-guard-chose-wrong-bag-when-he-turned-to-crime-21822.html-- Phuket Gazette 2013-08-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Payboy Posted August 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2013 Lucky that they got him quickly. Would've been difficult to identify him after a couple of days with the whitening lotion. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Is this a result of the Thai education system? 40-years-old and stupid as a mule... So if he had the benefit of western education he would know ahead of time which bag to snatch and which had nothing of value in it? Interesting take on the purpose of education. Quite a devastating put down there. Edited August 1, 2013 by Suradit69 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonthani1 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Had he mugged/beaten a foreigner, then he'd be a hero in jail. I seriously doubt a single Thai would condemn a Thai for mugging/beating a foreigner. Xenophobic brainwashing starts young here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJttttt1 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I know it's bad to steal from motorbike baskets, but anyway I feel sorry about him. Hope he will get a mild penalty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
