I hope all his funds for his holiday weren't in that wallet like the Maltese guy of a week ago. I suspect the Bangladeshi embassy would be even less helpful than the Maltese one.

Why the victims of such crime always state they lost big cash like hundreds thousand? They will never get the money back from LB. Or is there any insurance company willing to pay the money back? It's hard to believe...

I believe him ,he is from Bangladesh and was carrying the whole of that countrys money with him ,if they are so rich why do they always share a beer between a table full of them?

Sounds more like a negotiation that went wrong!

About as stupid as hearing about the fisherman that got pulled in to the water because he didn't have his feet planted.

wallet snatch. Mmmmm.... Plenty of them in Pattaya.

Bangladeshis getting in on the act now as well, obviously don't want to get outdone by their Indian neighbors

What sane person carries $2,500USD in their pocket??

Hhhmmmmmm !

This report can't be right. A new Crime Suppression just commenced with 500 Cops...........Didn't it ??
