Popular Post horsewell Posted February 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2015 This is one of the good reasons for CCTV cameras... unfortunately probably would not help too much if you where being attacked. Even if the police rushed to the location everything would be over by the time it was all finished. This is just another example that people will (try to) commit crime even though the cameras are are visible. People who scam insurance companies actually are stealing from the others that are paying into the insurance company. Hopefully this will be a good lesson and he will never do it again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsertUserName Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wow, wish Bangkok RTP and Tourist Police had been this thorough when I was robbed of all items AND there was CCTV footage that captured it ALL. Basically dragged them kicking and screaming to the establishment where it happened to view footage etc . Strange how they always seem to be on the case when nothing has actually happened. good job boys, good job... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 " ...robbed him of several items which he said were worth a total of B389,500. " Wonder what (if any) insurance company would have sold some 19 year old travelling to Thailand a policy that would have coughed up over AUS $ 15,000 for theft of personal items .. and what exactly he claimed was stolen.

Torrens54 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Toss him in the Cooler and make sure the Aussie Police in his home town/city are notified so they can be on the look out for him if he decides to do something similar when he gets back home.

bdenner Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Just wondering if this fool knows much trouble has created for himself which could last a life time. After being processed out of Thailand he faces repercussions at home and then probably never again being able to get insurance coverage for anything. No insurance = No mortgage to buy a home. No motor vehicle coverage etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car720 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Some sort of new Australian for my money. A real Aussie would have pulled it off. Before you start in on me about robbing from people who pay their insurance premiums let me make it very clear that I have no problem with stealing from thieving cheating insurance companies who are owned by thieving cheating banks that are owned by............................

Davekavo Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 You don't mess around with the Thai police, personally I give them a wide berth unless I want to hand over cash for some bull they come up with-it had a chance to visit the Bangkok Hilton to visit an inmate, pretty scary place...

ronrat Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 What sort of <deleted> needs to wear a hoodie in Phuket. Probably related to the clowns at the Melbourne Thai Consuls office in front of me discussing taking drugs on Koh Samui and then handed over 3 passports, none of which were Australian, and said to the confused staff. "We wants visas to country Koh Samui in Thailand for 2 weeks". The Consul himself intervened and said "Come back tommorrow and took their passports". Unfortunately he will probably travel without insurance next time and cost his family a bomb when he stuffs in Bali or some other bogan destination and his Mum will be on TV saying its the Governments fault and they should pay. His passport should be cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansgruber Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I've never got travel insurance because I never take anything of value on my trips. Only medical is needed. Did he have a Rolex or something? Does he realise you need submit receipts for the stolen items when filing a claim? Send him back to Lebanon.
