PHUKET: A Phuket Police officer has become the latest victim of motorbike theft on the island.

Sen Sgt Maj Narong Wilairat reported at 6:30am that his motorbike was stolen from in front of his police accommodation just meters from the main building at Chalong Police Station.

“My son used the motorbike – a red Honda Click Phuket license plate ‘Khor Kor Sor 81’– every day and parked it in front of our room every evening,” he said.

Sgt Narong explained that motorbikes were often stolen from in front of Chalong Police Station

“There are many motorbikes parked in front of the main building where they remain as evidence seized, but there are no CCTV cameras monitoring that area of the parking lot,” he said.

In 2010, the Chalong Police auctioned of 18 of the bikes that had been seized in drug-related cases

The lack of CCTV evidence has left Sgt Narong with no clues to investigate his own stolen motorbike.

“I’ll have to do the best I can and work with the case investigator,” he added.

Why is that? Certainly can't be considered an oversight, nor a budget breaker, and of course, not for a bike stealing ring to have access to motorbikes away from owners control.

Is the perp on the roof?

This is whats known as Karma. Som nom nah.

The Colonel recently stated that the general public wander in and out of the station all the time and even use the back rooms to extort dive operators.

No surprise that theft occurs.

What goes around, comes back around. I have not an ounce of sympathy.

Are you suggesting that he is stealing them himself?

You know, if someone would have thought of televising Thailand back in the fifties, Larry, Curly, and Moe would have been out of a job.

This statement I love cheesy.gifcheesy.gifcheesy.gif

It must have been one of those dive instructors out for revenge, but more likely one of those "fake" police that no -one sees, using the building.

Next time they steal his underwear and he will not have a clue.coffee1.gif

I wonder if his son is of legal (motorbike driving) age, has a license and wears a helmet? Call me cynical, but...

Totally irrelevant.

Happen before but still no cameraz

Did they ever aply for cctv instalation?

Have absolutely no sympathy for this officer. My daughter had her motorbike stolen by the police in Bangkok and when she went to the local station to report that she had been told that police officers had taken the bike, they did nothing. They denied any knowledge and said that her bike was not at that station

She found her bike which they denied having whilst she was looking around the bike pound. However, it was not there, she did find her bike minus the tax and number plate and it was parked outside the police accommodation block in the same station.

He's not taking it lying down,which would be his usual position. Maybe he could offer money to the police as an incentive to......oh no wait.

But probably true!

It seems to be a lawless society with little faith or regard for the police, let alone one another.

Maybe the thief is a policeman...maybe a disgruntled check-point shakedown contributor...or was just borrowed to run a quick errand...at any rate...it will be given top priority...since it was a policeman's bike....

Is he pointing to the person that took it ?

I recall many years ago when the special investigation unit from the district I lived in my homecountry had their yearly new years party.

Four of them had their car stolen laugh.png

slow on the uptake aren't you, you normally figure that out after only two weeks here.

I would NOT like to be the poor stooopid idiot who stole it. They WILL catch him and then.....ah shall we say. "Justice Will be handed out" let alone what happens when he is carried before the Court.

What everybody overlooks is the fact that the police had impounded the motorbike as evidence. This does not mean that a policeman (or the police force for that matter) OWNED that bike. That sergeant-major who let his son use the bike every day (perhaps to go to school?) did not have the right to do that. It will be interesting to see what will happen. Probably nothing.

It is also just possible that a court case will be thrown out because the evidence is missing...

The headline does read Police officers motorbike , but the person that took it proberly did not know who it belonged to.

It seems strange that people would steal bikes from outside a police station.
