If it was bolted to the wall where he is pointing then it looked like a tiny little portable safe. By the looks of it, it probably served as much purpose as taping your wallet to the wall.

Any safe that is light enough to be carried away, is an oxymoron.

I THINK that the reason the hotels, apartments and guest houses use these safes is to have all the valuables in one place to make the robbery more efficient. No need to search or destroy property in the room. Everything is neatly collected in one carry on box.

I doubt they could screw the 5000lb model up there on the wall.

Come on...this is a joke. Look at the cheap and nasty apartment.....and the claim that he had US$3000. I doubt his 'apartment' could cost even US$300 per month. US$150 at a push. Squalido.

I installed my home safe myself. 3/4 inch dynabolts to the concrete floor plus angle iron run around its perimeter, again bolted down, so that a jemmy bar cant be placed underneath the safe. That bugger is not going anywhere fast.

If anyone wants to develop a good business in a niche in Pattaya or BKK, Rent-A-Safe would be the go. A secure building plus renta-cops. Where you could make your money is renting out secure luggage storage, for those who want to travel light but use BBK or Pattaya as base camp, or those who return say every two or three months. They are around already, but their charges are over the top, and the units few and far between.

This victim is a Kuwati, where the minimum wages for any Kuwati oer month is 6500 USD , guess you have no idea about them, and the only currency values the most now a days is Kuwati dinner check on the bank screen next time you have some time.

And what happens if you get a Bernie Madoff type of character in charge of the business?

I believe he had the money alright. I also believe that his classy "girlfriend" knew that as well.

[Basil B]

My question, how did the thieves get in the room in the first place?

$6,500 USD per month is a bloody good wage $8,500 AUD Aussies would kill for a wage like that. Geez these average Kawaties are bloody loaded.
