Pity the new paint job was not completed, Mr. Caracini will have to pay to get the job finished.

Not exactly a mastermind criminal at work here.

Visit the owner, make an offer far below market value, steal boat when owner is away, park stolen boat next to house.

If brains were gunpowder this guy would have trouble blowing his nose.

[OOLEEBER]

Shaking my head in disbelief at the stupidity. I wonder if he'll do time for this.

[steelepulse]

At least he did not try to hide the boat......just parked it under the front porch in full view, give him at least some credit.

Brilliance. The Master Race, indeed.

[Patmalone]

If his brains were dynamite it wouldn't blow the part in his hair.

This man is depriving a village of an idiot.

Nobody is pointing any fingers at it.

C'mon, is it siesta time? I can't continue reading this thread until I see the comments refuting the alleged offender's nationality, based on his name.

First sentence, they probably got his age from his passport and not his name.

I know he's German but you have to admit Schmith does sound more Austrian?

I must apologise for my behaviour during my stay in Koh Samui

[BigC]

Maybe he just wanted to paint he boat and put it back

Wouldn't surprise me if that's what he try's to say in court

Maybe the judge shall laugh him out the court and then check his paint job and give him 7 years for bad taste

[BigC]

Maybe have sentence reduce to stupid behaviour

If the sentence is too long then maybe we would be able to complete it as maybe his vocabulary does not extend too far

Sorry found the comments here similar to a joke page

No wonder Italy switched sides during the war if war tactics were like this there was really no hope in winning

Let's face it Hitler probably killed most of his own people for disobedient then the enemy.

This is one of the cases where I could actually believer that he could stab himself in both arms and legs and it would be suicide

[khundon]

Schmith admitted to the police "well me and a few lads did the same with Poland in 1939 and given a few more years, we would have re-painted the whole country in a nice shade of magnolia"

About time too!

Guys and girls, no need to bring Hitler into this (even though he was Austrian), which brings me to the point that Austrian and Australian is slightly different, specially when it comes to beaches and barby. Schmith could be German, Austrian, Swiss, there are so many variations of that name (Schmid, Schmidt, Schmitt, Schmit), but I guess it is just spelled wrong in the article. And last but not least, no foreign language here, only English please.
