daveAustin Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 'He confessed to police that he would only steal diesel' Oh, that's alright then; like it'd be a crime to nick benzene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil B Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Well done to the BiB BiG (Boys in Green) A hard to read story but seems the guys were buying fuel from truck drivers who were short delivering fuel to filling stations I think 30-50 Ltrs to be a very conservative estimate... !00,000B lying around, almost certain that's just small proportion of the profits and that's after paying off the drivers (probably 10B a Ltr), certainly a multi-million Baht scam.

inzman Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Got busted because he didn't share the loot. Or maybe it was due to the excellent investigative work of the ###. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RigPig Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Pirate? was the attended wearing a black eye patch with a parrot on his shoulder using a hook to fill up your car? Smuggling? Pirating? How about stealing? It wasn't coming in from Malaysia, or anywhere else for that matter, they were stealing it and selling it and the people receiving it were receiving stolen goods !!!

soalbundy Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Happens in my village once a month. Two large tanker lorries pull up at night time and the villagers swarm around with large 10 gallon plastic tanks and get their refills, they pay the driver and after half an hour they are gone. I don't know how the drivers get away with it,do they put the loss down to evaporation,leakage or whatever, must be a nice earner.
