britmaveric Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Farang steals cash and mobile phone Tries to avoid prosecution A New Zealand passport holder, drinking at the We Are The World bar, stole the mobile phone of a member of staff and then walked away without paying his bill of more than 3,500 baht. Miss Pradep Tongtai, aged 34, reported to the nearby police station that the farang had walked off with her mobile phone after asking to examine it. Police later were able to arrest Mr Miroslav Homola, aged 32, who tried to explain he did not understand Thai law. He said he was now more than happy to return the mobile phone and pay the bill after coming to the conclusion that he had made a serious mistake. However, he was told he must face prosecution as his sin was in the act of trying to steal which could not be wiped out by a willingness to make amends following public exposure. -Pattaya Today 15 Aug 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREM-R Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Perhaps you are all being a little hard on this guy, walked away without paying his bill of more than 3,500 baht. Even in Pattaya a bar tab of 3,500 baht = Mao Mak Mak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiromj Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) I'll bet he understands Thai law now. And 3500 Baht bar bill? How was he still verticle and able to walk away? Edited August 18, 2006 by hiromj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sibeymai Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 After a 3,500Bt bar guzzle, I probably wouldn't recognise my own phone or whether I'd paid the bill either. Still, inebriation has never been an acceptable legal defence.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libya 115 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 A Maori fisherman, the legends say, Dredged up New Zealand in a single day. I've seen the catch, and here's my parting crack- It's undersized; for God's sake throw it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I think, Miss Pradep Tongtai, aged 34 was just annoyed that, even though he was totally legless, he still preffered to take the phone home, rather than take her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Is it just me? or ...... Farang steals cash and mobile phone or did he NOT steal cash? he stole drinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya_Fox Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) Is it just me? or ......Farang steals cash and mobile phone or did he NOT steal cash? he stole drinks! A better charge would have been obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception......because by allowing the check bins to be put in his `pot` he intimated through this that he would pay the bill, and when he didn`t he committed the deception.

Chang_paarp Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I thought we sent all the criminals to New South Wales not New Zealand I think if you look closely at the history books, you will find that not all the criminals were sent to New South Wales. Apart from the other colonies, the English managed to keep a few at home. Where did chavs come from? Certainly not the same place Mr Miroslav Homola did. Maybe Mr Miroslav Homola thought the phone could be used to summons sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
