Korean reports theft of Mobile Phone on Walking Street to Pattaya Police



PATTAYA: -- On Sunday Night, a Korean Tourist reported the alleged theft of a mobile phone, which was apparently snatched from his hands in front of a popular Late Night bar on Walking Street.

Mr. Wanseop Kim aged 28, reported the incident at Pattaya Police Station and explained to officers that he was on Walking Street with a friend, and was preparing to enter the popular I Bar when a Thai Man, thought to be aged in his late teens, approached from behind and snatched his Mobile Phone, a Pantach Vega worth 33,000 Baht, from his hands as he was in the process of sending a Text Message.

The assailant was seen to run inside Soi 14 and was not able to be apprehended. CCTV in the area, assuming it is in working order, will be checked with the assistance of Pattaya City Hall.

Is it a slow news day in Pattaya or what?

[falangjim]

Horrific crime! Keep the news coming.

If it was your phone I guess your opinion would be different.

These asians need to put their phones in their pockets rather than walk around the whole time holding them in the air or bent over texting. They'd experience a bit more from their holiday. And would see trouble coming.

No sympathy from me.

All those snatch and grab guys are known to police. They will catch him if they want to.

The real question is will they want to.

Pity, the pantech vega is an amazing phone with almost a bezeless screen. The thief obviously knows what it's worth.

very annoying, whether on the street , in a shopping mall or where ever, theyre constantly walking into you beacause they dont look where theyre going with their face firmly planted on the screen..

Are these phones available in Thailand? (apart from the stolen one).

[KonKorat]

You are kidding me,this made the news omg!

When I go to the mall with the wife, which I despise doing, but still go to keep her happy. I enjoy seeing someone approaching me with there head down and fingers flying on the phone keyboard, best part is when I don't move and they walk right into me, there phone fly's out of there hand, hits the floor and several pieces go sliding down the mall corridor. Great fun for me.....
