Hundreds of supercars 'missing' - Thai customs

[Artisi]

"But the source said luxury cars would continue to disappear from warehouses because some business owners had good relations with officials who take bribes and let the cars out so they can be displayed at showrooms."

That explains it all really. Welcome to LOC. Land of corruption.

And does that really come as a surprise to you or to anyone else for that matter?

Doesn't matter what developed major metropolis you journey to, funny thing is you wont see more luxury cars than you do in Bangkok.

Maybe they tried this trick to drivel the cars out .....

The question is........where does the buck stop at customs or does it ever stop?

I saw a Lamborghini towing a plow near nam phong last week.

Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app

Thats different than i see a ford tractor beeing pulled out of a deep ditch by a flock of waterbuffalos

How do you call a large group of waterbuffalos ?.

I believe that the collective noun is a flotilla!

What is the point of having a bonded warehouse that you can take stuff out of without paying the tax...and apparently without anyone reporting you.

Sounds perfect for a movie plot, maybe they could get Nicholas Cage to star in it.

Two officials from the Customs Department have been moved to inactive positions pending investigation into their role in the disappearance of some 500 luxury vehicles that went missing from the customs' bonded warehouses.

How about arrested and given a 20 year sentence ?

How about we underline some more to put things in the correct context :

pending investigation into their role in the disappearance

Unless of course you would sentence them without a trial.
