Samut Prakan:- A lone robber had a “friendly chat” with the house owner and her maid for two hours and cleaned her house before making off with Bt80,000 worth of valuables.

Pol Lt Sanhawat Kaewduang of Mueang Samut Prakan police station said he was alerted of the robbery at 3 am Wednesday by the victim after the robber had left her house.

Sanhawat rushed to the house in Nanthawan housing estate in Tambon Bang Mueang and found the terrified house owner, Anchalee Supalak 67, and her maid, Amporn Lomechan, 40 as well as black adhesive tapes and a knife left by the robber.

Anchalee told police that she was watching TV on a sofa bed when a large man broke in from the back of the house. He wore a black face cove and black gloves and socks. He also wore long-sleeved black t-shirt and scarlet t-shirt on top and black sport trousers.

Anchalee said the man forced her with the knife to give him valuables after she said she had none the man blindfolded her and her maid with black adhesive tape before he searched the house.

Anchalee said the man took her gold necklace, gold bracelet and a diamond ring with a combined value of Bt80,000.

After he found the valuables, the man sat down to chat with her friendlily for over two hours. He also cleaned the house. Before he left, he removed the adhesive tape.

Sanhawat said police suspect the robber might be a resident of the neighborhood who is familiar with residents of the housing estate. Police will check footage of security cameras to try to locate him, he added.

What's a long-sleeved T-shirt? ...

Maybe a H-shirt?

SO if the house needed cleaning , what does the maid do all day ? Oh yeah I know sleep and watch TV and play facebook with the home owner .

If this guy also does windows I might be interested in him robbing my place.

"After he found the valuables, the man sat down to chat with her friendlily for over two hours. He also cleaned the house. Before he left, he removed the adhesive tape."

Sounds like a nutter.

Ever heard of removing evidence?

Police are always rushing to the scene. I've never seen a Thai rush, unless there is a 2 for 1 offer at Starbucks.

I was thinking more about the tie up, rob them, sit down, tidy up the house, chat to bound captives for two hours and then remove tape. Kind of up and down behaviour wouldn't you say?

I assume the tape was still on when he was chatting.

He also left the knife and roll of tape behind so I don't think he was too worried about evidence.

As I say, nutter.

It's worth reading for the cynical replies!

I found the advert on the bottom of the O.P. somewhat amusing considering the facts stated.

This says to me a friend of the maid.

He didn't even want to inconvenience his g/f so he cleaned the house.

Wasn't there a guy like this in Australia many years ago ?

I remember hearing about it when I was a kid.. maybe someone older remembers it better.

OK, I'll bite..... "He cleaned us out! Did the windows too!"

A bad story with a happy ending, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Or in need of a toilet

Maybe the robber suffers from OCD

The robber was all dressed up like a professional robber out of movie and all of the other BS of chatting for 2 hours and cleaning the house.....come on !! Insurance payout of 80K comes to mind.

Thankfully no one's hurt or dead. He's just after valuables.

‘Kind’ and stupid robber cleans house too

sounds like a very nice man, a little expensive as a house cleaner with a wage of 40,000 Baht an hour but kind never the less.

Sound like a set up to embarrass the maid. I bet the poor maid is getting razzed up one side and down the other... LOL

Yep, nothing says kindness like tying someone up, gagging them, holding them prisoner at knife point, talking to them as they lay tied and gagged and stealing everything in sight.
