If I pay 300,000 I can get my stolen car back

[cornishcarlos]

Wow so many guys who don't trust Thai woman,,

I wouldn't say I'm a veteran,but I've been coming since 2002,,,

I even stayed here for 4 years on the bounce,so I have met plenty of scams on my way,,,,

But I have been with my girlfriend yes girlfriend,,I haven't put silly string things on my head and wrists yet,,,although we did do the family wedding thing in buriram in 2005,

I laid down 150,000 for everyone to see,

Then when everyone finally f**cked off home,her mum gave it back to me...

Which I didn't expect as my brothers wife's family kept the lot,,,,

She gave it back as her mum knew we needed money for our shop,,,,

In 7 years I think I might have sent no more than 100,000,

The shop was doing well so there was no need to send money,,,

I could relax more in England with work,and all I need now is a flight ticket as I know she has money,,,

I can honestly say I have never seen her or any of their family gamble,,

They have Afew farms here,her younger brother gets about 3-4000b every other day from driving his tractor,,,

It's very very hard for me to believe that as money was never a problem...

But hay I could really really be slow...

So if I am reading this last post correctly, you aren't even in Thailand ??

"Its a deal, its a steal, its the sale of the f*&king century. In fact Nick, I think I'll keep it myself"

If you pay 30000 B per year for a 3 years old car you've a first class insurance.

I think all first class insurances in Thailand cover theft.

What is the name of your insurance?

I believe you when you're telling the police is not willing to help.

We ever got a thief breaking into our building. I got all evidence : many videos, starting from him climbing through the window, videos that clearly showed his face, videos of him running down the stairs and out of the building.

The neighbors recognized the the thief on the video.

I got his name and address and went to see him at home : it was him, he confessed to me and said he spent the stolen money on going out.

I brought all evidence to the police, together with the name of the thief a map showing the place he lives.

The police did absolutely nothing! Even contacting higher level officers had no effect at all.

Thai friends told me this is not unusual at all for the Thai police.

The only thing they will help if offering the police 100K if they can get your car back. No money - no work.

 

Nobody really likes the police but everyone has a police contact for this kind of thing. If you haven't got a police contact, then get one even if it means paying him.

I ain't even going to bother replying to the OP as he's either a troll or a total mug. I suspect the second.

Sounds harsh, Is it really true ?What is their job then?only a tool of corruption.

I previously mentioned getting a lawyer to speak to the police. It isn't as stupid as it sounds,firstly it may really be an attempt to extort money from the poor lad and as i have said earlier the police,however unwilling,do respond to just the mere mention of a lawyer and actually do something. Secondly if he is being scammed by his true love,which i admit is more than likely, then the mention of a lawyer being involved would scare the living sh*t out of her, her negative reaction would lead him in the right direction. a lawyer in this case wouldn't cost the world.

In Isan i have found the police to be very helpful and not at all the stereotype Thai policemen,,just the opposite in fact.

In Chiang Mai i had reason to consult with the police because of my step daughter. I speak fluent Thai so while my wife was speaking with the officer at the charge desk,i stood behind her listening. I soon got the message,we aren't interested its a family matter. I told my wife ,in Thai, stop it now,its no use, call our lawyer to come down here and we will start again. What a change in attitude ! "Oh there is no need for that,please don't do that ,our boss will think we aren't doing our job" To cut a long story short,he did exactly what i wanted without a lawyer even being present,the threat was enough.

First when I started to read your post I didn't like all that lawyer stuff, but when I read it all its absolutely genius. big up

To the OP. Why don't you take the effort to go to Osmach to the casino? To go there you even not have to exit Thailand, to visit the casino the border police will let you pass without stamping your passport. At the casino you will be able to find out whether there are gambling debts on your car or not. If so you will get the name of the player. I would go for that, just to eliminate wrong thinking and hook off this point.

It's true. Probably the guy was a helper of the police or he had some family in the police office.

They did really nothing. I have to mention only 2000B was stolen.

That might be the reason they thought it was not important.

The police in Thailand is a tool of corruption.

They will help in extreme cases, like catching murderers, catching big drug dealers, because they will get a good report for this.

Other activities very much depend on how much money you're willing to offer them or how much corruption money they can collect.

[laolover88]

None of this adds up!

You say 'my car'

Whose Car is it?

Was it bought new/secondhand in both your names or someone else's?

Is there a finance deal on the car. Tisco? Kiatnakin? Who pays? How much?

Where is the 'Blue Book'?

Have you got the VIN number + Chassis number?

If there really is insurance it is ridiculous you don't name the company. Who pays for the insurance? If it really

exists and is 30K, then you will almost certainly have theft insurance.

If, though, the keys were left in the car, or the doors unlocked then no insurance will pay as someone was negligent.

Get a copy of the insurance contract and the blue book. If you cannot read Thai...Get translations!

Cannot see why the sum is 300,000. Makes no sense.

Why would they not change the number plate?

It is a simple procedure to identify Registration and Ownership details of cars.

Don't pay a Baht!

Find a policeman or go to the Tourist Police

Or forget it!!

Keep asking.

I am yet to find an insurance policy with no theft component. Sorry to rain on your Saturday morning but an unpaid family debt is the absolute favouriteb at the moment.

30k for an insurance policy that does not cover theft? Rubbish!

The name of the insurance company is quite easy to find.... it will be in plain English on the policy document.

If I were you I would get down their office and find out why they won't pay out.

I think you are going to find out there is more to this than you realise!

Ask yourself, what thief demands a ransom for a stolen truck and why are the BIB not interested at all, even with a financial incentive?

[yourauntbob]

i dont have theft on my insurance so it is possible. but if you are still making payments i believe that theft insurance is compulsory. are you still making payments on the car? i would have your g/f read the insurance policy and verify. i would then go to the police station, not sure its legal to hold a car as collateral for an illegal gambling debt.

if your making payments, stop making payments and let the bank get it back for you

[wym]

I think it's pretty clear by now that this isn't a case of theft.

Insurance won't cover a family member hocking his car for gambling debts.

How much is your insurance?

My Honda m/c has theft insurance from new, 2k for 2 years cover (value of m/c 50k).

[Munger]

i see. everything was done by thai girl. maybe she didnt buy insurance and just pocketed the premiums.

no offense but you guys are really financially foolish.....................comedy on a grand scale. buy your own stolen car back.....lol.

although some guys stole bugsy siegals palm tress and then got him to buy them again and again and again.

YUP, comedy on a grand scale, indeed. But please take it easy on the O/P, I think he is from the UK.

Well, don't leave us in suspense...

[ozterix]

I am still interested to know which insurance company cost 30K for a 1.5MB vehicle and does not cover theft? Just to make sure I would not use them...

They are many unanswered questions in here, and you just added one more yourself, how does a finance company help in recovering a stolen vehicle where there is not theft policy covering it...?

The more you add the less credible the whole thing becomes

[Tmymaimee]

What was the point of this whole posting? A car is "missing", limited information supplied by the OP and now the car "recovered" with help of the "financer".

Why do so many posters dribble the information out over a week or two, always with crucial points missing, then the matter is fixed while the OP becomes angry at the non-believers because of the miited information provided from the start. Its almost like they're attempting to mislead in order to stir up responses when they know damn well that a factual, accurate accounting of events would make them appear retarded.

[Ants]

Some of us dribble out information over a week,,maybe because we don't have time to sit and post everyday,,

Sorry mate,,,

And it became abit to same same with the comments,,,( dodgy gf,gambling debts,,,

You all nearly made me believe she was no good,,,,,

But thanks to some of you who gave great advise,,,,,

The suspicions came from information you provided that didn't make sense to many here.

So clear the air, I'm sure your valuable experiences can help others in a similar predicament in the future.

[wym]

Or maybe you got scammed and don't even yet (want to) know the truth yourself!

[transam]

Or our advice pointed someone to rethink stuff and get the ride back pronto.

[ozterix]

I think it is obvious by now that the whole thing was an invented story and they guy was quite successful at keeping a bunch of us busy wondering what could have happened.

it is sad when you see a wank*r who is desperate enough to have some social interaction that he needs to invent such a story to get some people to talk to him.

would love to see the guy in real life...

[seajae]

sorry mate but when you fail to provide details that are pretty necessary it does become dodgy. No insurance company name, only that they were charging way over the accepted price of insurance then not including theft in the insurance when it is a car under payments, this in itself was a big fail. How in the hell do you know what happened apart from what you have been told, could it be that because you were given sound advice and transferred what had been said to your gf that all of a sudden someone realized they couldnt burn you on this without being caught so they organized to get it back. Your failure to provide any real information and still refusing to do so really makes you look like you have no idea what is happening and are now just trying to save your "face" and that of your gf or her family, if you had the balls you would simply say what actually happened, give the insurance company name etc and it would all be settled but that would require you to be straight forward, something you have gone out of your way to avoid all the way through this or is this just a troll post, hmmmm.

Was anyone prosecuted for taking your ride ? Who collected it ? Were Police in attendance at collection etc ?
