Popular Post JesseFrank Posted July 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2014 The other day I had a foreigner came to look for my house that is for sale. I have a fancy sound system where with a small remote I can change the sound from inside to outside or in the bedrooms. I also have the pool light, jacuzzi and waterfall operated with a small remote. I showed it to him. Both remotes have their fixed location, one in it's holder on the patio, the other on the sound system inside the house. Today I need to check something on the pool and reached for the remote, only to notice that it was gone. My instinct told me to look for the speaker remote, and that was also gone. So there is only one conclusion and that is that the sick bastard nicked both of them. They are unusable for him as they are fixed coded to their receivers. Now you really need to be sick to do something like that, isn't it. rant over 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I find it very strange to think (not impossible) that some guy would steal your remote control. More likely it's stuck in a couch somewhere. My wife just lost her phone and we swore one of son's misplaced it - a week later we found it after she had already replaced the sim and phone. She had placed it in a document folder after using it to call someone about one of the documents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post neverdie Posted July 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2014 When I first started to read this I thought it was about mentally ill foreigners that buy real estate in Thailand. Then I realised it was about mentally ill foreigners that stole remotes. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Costas2008 Posted July 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) OP, when I visited your house. last time, I fancied soooo much your fancy sound system and also your pool light, jacuzzi and waterfall. So, I got your remotes and at the moment I'm running around the house and the garden, pressing the buttons and pretending I have the same. Ahhhhhh......feels so good. PS. Got all my medication this morning. Edited July 9, 2014 by Costas2008 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weegee Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Have a look around the area where you were cutting the irrigation pipes.... I usually blame everybody else for things and then find it where I left it.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseFrank Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 If it was a single remote I would believe it was misplaced, since it are 2 remotes that are at different locations usual, the chance that they are misplaced at the same time is very small. I have checked all trousers, all couches, all drawers in the past 2 hours. They are definitely gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have his address and contact details, but accusing him not gonna help isn't it ? The remotes are so small that you can hold them in your handpalm without anyone noticing, so easily picked up when I turn my back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Did he call you to arrange the viewing ? if yes then you should have his number on your phone, call him and demand he return the remotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverdie Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Have we narrowed down who the mentally ill party is yet? A quick whip around the forum revealed, apparently everyone here is complete nuts. Fortunate really, because the OP has somehow misplaced two remotes in a short space of time and is now searching madly (pardon the pun) for both the remotes and his marbles. Of course, by posting on TVF about the dilemma has without doubt made the task of finding the missing remotes so much easier. Fortunately for the OP, he has reported to TVF, HUB of crazy people, so his chances of finding the remote thief (if in fact there is one) is extremely high. Hopefully my post clears this matter up for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like "the lunatics have taken over the assylum" ?.......many a true word is said in jest ! Something like that. All my alarm bells were ringing at the 'neverdie control centre' as I have google alerts set whenever somebody enters the term, 'mentally ill foreigners' into the TVF thread engine. I believe I have a certain level of expertise in the area I must admit, it's terribly frustrating when one constantly misplaces items. very frustrating and I always look for others to blame, as well. 5555555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't make my task of finding them any easier, especially since they aren't there to find , but it lightens up my heart a bit as it will cost me about 3K and a lot of work since one of the receivers is installed above the ceiling in a very difficult to reach location.

Okay, I can see you are upset. First thing. Take a deep breath. Now think, when was the last time you saw the remotes? Do you have a cat or dog? Have you had a boys look or a girls look?
