Popular Post Estrada Posted March 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2015 He should be deported as he is a habitual thief who has been caught before. Having suffered losses in excess of GBP100,000 through thieves shop lifting, I have no sympathy. If he stole from your pocket would you have any sympathy? 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pattaya46 Posted March 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2015 Blame it on the Euro. I would think so. The 25% value fall may hit hard some guys with already low pension... Sad. Not an excuse to steal though! Time to learn to appreciate Thai food, way cheaper. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNXBKKMAN Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have known people who have shoplifted and they had plenty of money. They used to buy some steal some. Did it all the time at a Circle K convience store in Taipei. Caught on cctv and he got 6 months in jail. He was very bitter about it as he felt it was very unfair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was caught on 22nd October 2014 attempting to steal salad cream. At the time he was fined and released but this time the store would like him prosecuted to the full extent of the law. = Deportation and black listed 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shop lifting isn't always about that. Many are just petty, opportunist thieves. Many shoplift for a living. I met one of them once here in Thailand, said he was a "professional shoplifter". We've seen celebrities get pinched, and at military base exchanges, I've seen full bird Colonels and top enlisted ranks get caught out shoplifting; try to get out of it by showing they have the money in their wallet to pay for the item. Maybe here, some think the Thais are dumb and will never catch or think they will escape suspicion because they are a rich Caucasian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has enough money to pay for that first bag of meat, he has enough money to buy cheaper food in much greater quantities. Last time he was caught stealing salad cream; hardly something a starving person would go for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
