ATF Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 After I spoke with the guy on the phone yesterday, as mentioned already, I went out and purchased 2 new remotes. Would I do that if I wasn't confident that I wouldn't find them back ? Jesse screw them to the wall this time or attach one of those key finders to them, but be careful you don't lose the remote for the key finder. Glad it all worked out for you.

Neeranam Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Some of the shiftiest, weirdest people I've run into here have been farang. Why shouldn't they be? I was an English teacher for 13 years and met hundreds of weirdos, social misfits, substance abusers. In that vocation, the weird ones outnumber the 'normal' ones. As for somewhere like Pattaya , one night there and your statement becomes a tautology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverdie Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 How much did the new remotes end up costing you Jesse? 2400 Baht, you want to do a collection ? Yeah, why not. I will pledge 25 satang to the 'Jesse, somebody <deleted> off with my remotes, fund'. Are there other people out there willing to help Jesse pay for these remotes? Amount raised thus far; 25 Satang. ps: Would you like payment in food stamps or a bank cheque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Jesse, get loads of old remotes together, point at receiver and push buttons until something happens. Then re-label the buttons according to what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseFrank Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Jesse, get loads of old remotes together, point at receiver and push buttons until something happens. Then re-label the buttons according to what they do. These are wifi transmitting remotes, with over 5 million codes. Little chance that even a new one from the same brand that I don't have to replace the receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhythmworx Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Only 5 million codes? Well that should keep you busy, a few hundred years abstaining from the bars while trying to find out which one should save you some money. ......................... On another note though, it is really sad that someone would steal them hoping they can turn a few power saving light bulbs in their condo and an old wireless short wave radio in to a state of the art entertainment system.

I'm not sure if that are the thoughts of the guy. I rather think that, as another poster pointed out already, it's a case of kleptomania where one can not resist the urge to steal something. As the topic title says, a mental illness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATF Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Jesse I don't mean to rub salt into the wound but I will anyway. Have you got one of those 5 million codes working yet? I bought one of those universal remotes and it was garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseFrank Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Jesse I don't mean to rub salt into the wound but I will anyway. Have you got one of those 5 million codes working yet? I bought one of those universal remotes and it was garbage. I bought new remotes with receiver. One is installed the other will be in the next few days. The million codes means that a remote is tied to it's specific receiver, so you can't just change remote or receiver, you always have to replace both. It are not infrared remotes as they have to go through walls and ceilings, and you can have several installed in the same place without them interfering with each other.

JesseFrank Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I have no purchased 2 new remotes and still the " misplaced" ones haven't reappeared. So this afternoon I'm going into the ceiling to replace the receiver of the speaker remote. As I told already this is a difficult accessible location and add to that my height scariness, so it gonna be a real problem. If I've not been online again by 7pm, could someone please contact the emergency service please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
