Farang Thief Caught in San Sai Area - Robbed Lately?

[realthaideal]

Apparently there's a Western thief who's been caught recently out in San Sai and it looks like they're trying to get some of the stolen goods back to the proper owners. You can read about it on Facebook on the What's Happening In Chiang Mai page. I'll repost what one lady has said onto TV here, so that you can go search for it if you need to get in touch with her yourselves.

"Sorry this is not quite related but...URGENT TO EXPAT COMMUNITY! We have caught a thief with stolen goods. Trying to locate the owner of one of the (very valuable) items based on the confession of the thief: does this man sound similar to you? He is quite tall, American (we think) in his 40's to 50's with white hair and beard. He may have worked in England too. His name is Matt and lives in the San Sai area. Has been here for at least 4 months (when goods were stolen). If you think you may know someone that fits this description please send me a PM. (I am helping the Police with this)"

Hope this helps someone who might've been hit by the guy.

Doesn't say they have caught anybody...just a vague description. "Tall"? In LOS, that could mean over 5' 8". 8 times out of 10; it's actually a Canadian.

The TVCM Forum has been so boring recently a little comic relief is welcome.

Police were also questioning the guy; what was he doing creeping around in children`s bedrooms during the middle of the night?
