JulieM Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Reminds me of Chaplin's film "The Kid." The kid walked around throwing stones at windows and seconds later Charlie walked by with a new pane to install...for a price, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iReason Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) On one of the islands, a repair shop was caught putting screws in tires when you brought your bike in for other work. Bike's fine. Cherrio. Off you go, down the road, with a wave and a big smile from the repair guys. Ahh, <deleted>! Back to the nearest shop. Their's. They were switching out good parts with junk and syphoning gas from the tanks as well. Integrity. Directly across the road from the local Police Box I might add. The shop is still there.

Popular Post Mudlover Posted February 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2015 Glad she was caught, but... It's strange the police would 'go undercover' to successfully trap this tyre terrorist but can't seem to do anything to apprehend human traffickers, the lowest life form and a scourge to Thailand and the region. Probably because the traffickers are too well connected. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
