Familyonthemove Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Left in a central Bangkok wash room. Have electrical connectors at either end but no labels or markings. Probably some sort of office electrical item or printer / office equipment consumables - but after all the recent protests in this area my imagination was going a bit wild when I saw them. Serious or entertaining suggestions welcome! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satcommlee Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Its a bit hard to grasp the scale of the item, maybe putting a 10 baht coin next to the item in the photo would help. I see nothing that implies they are electrical by nature at all... A pest control device would be my first guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Familyonthemove Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Not easy to see from the photo - but they have two soldered electrical connectors on the end. Sent from my C6902 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Doesn't look electrical, I assume you checked to see if it's actually attached to floor and not simply lying on the carpet, If loose, maybe some kind of pest control, or something discarded, by all means, smell, taste, stick fingers in it to glean more information, your results may vary, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satcommlee Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Looks like a battery to me It's tempting to assume its a battery but I can't think of a reason why someone would consciously decide they need to put a battery in the corner of their bathroom ... hence i will stick with Pest control..

Familyonthemove Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Not attached - just left next to a wash basin. I left them there as the owner may remember where he left them and come back - but took a photo as I was curious about what they were. Could be batteries - heavy enough - but no voltage markings or polarity signs.

Familyonthemove Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Just being nosey /nerdy really - but I can't remember ever seeing a battery, pest control device or printer consumable or even a bar chocolate that was not covered in labels and safety symbols?

Familyonthemove Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 I already Googled C4! Just shows what a crazy world we live in now. C4 seems to be in green packs with "C4" written on it.

Familyonthemove Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yep. Probably a battery - but where's all the ex SAS experts when we need them? Sent from my C6902 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satcommlee Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 It is about the same size as a penguin bar, as in a popular British chocolate snack... maybe its a special edition or a misprint. Either way I still reckon it contains chocolate or some sort of pesticide. Being covered in foil implies it is something organic...that needs preserving, or electrical.. I wont sleep tonight now! Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSure Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Judas Priest. I'd get as far away from that as quickly as I could. It could in fact be C4 and an electrical detonator all wrapped in foil and ready to be plugged into a timer. Granted, it doesn't appear to be connected to the electrical and timer, and therefore may not be at all dangerous, but I'd want nothing to do with it, including getting caught with it by someone who assumed it was mine!

rhythmworx Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 LiPo battery, probably intended for use on an IED during the protests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padsterj Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 If you can poke it and it makes an impression get well away could be C4 which it safe as long as no precusion pin (detonation cap) attached,if its solid id say battery which could still be part of an explosive device so i wouldn't touch them leave finger prints ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedtripler Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 there hasnt been any c4 used yet ,all the bombs have been made from fertiliser besides the m79 grenades but id get rid of it anyway it looks to be a powerpack from a small laptop but dont take any chances ,it could be half a kilo of heroin ,half a kilo of explosives etc i would dump it or give it to police ,whoever lost it ,tough shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
