Man studies Fast & Furious for big bank heist
By Coconuts Bangkok



CHIANG MAI: -- A 24-year-old man attempted to rob a bank in Chiang Mai after learning the necessary skills from Fast & Furious 5 and other action movies.

Thanisorn Thepna, 24, was taken into custody within moments of walking into a Bangkok Bank branch, pulling a knife, and shouting the classic line: "Hand over the money!"

He was immediately apprehended by a police officer who had noticed him acting suspiciously in front of the bank before his big heist.

Humm, apparently he didn't learn too damn much. lol

[Local Drunk]

Let me guess... his getaway car was a four door 91 Toyota Corolla with the drum brakes painted red, lot's of stickers and an obnoxious sounding homemade fart pipe hanging off its end.

[onthedarkside]

Hard to make this stuff up ...

[Pimay1]

Master criminal. Best one this week. It takes an IQ of more than room temperature to pull off something like this which obviously he doesn't have.

[NongKhaiKid]

So the BIB aren't looking for the usual mastermind ?

[Suffinator]

Darwin

[Lupatria]

Ban the movie.

[Johnny S]

Earth calling Mr. Thanisorn ... What a noob

[doremifasol]

What a moron

[island hopper]

back to the movie and drawing board in prison

[Fullstop]

The major flaw in his evil plan was that the cops had seen the movie too.

[WorldTravellerMUC]

I must have missed that part in the movie?

[Misterwhisper]

If you need a fictional movie to "learn" how to plan and execute a successful bank heist, better look out for another career, dumbo!

[lust]

When was there ever a bank robbery in any of the 7 films?..

Don't you need a couple of Morris Mini Minors to pull off a bank heist?

Wrong movie (but a damn good one!), and they were using the Mini's to heist money from a safe in a house.

[Fullstop]

Wrong movie

That's my point.

If only he had watched it. I don't think the Thai cops have seen it.

If he was on a budget ... he could use Tuk Tuks instead if Minis.

EDIT: I've just had a psychic flash. Within the next few years a Thai Production company will copy (plagiarize) the "Italian Job" movie and turn it into a slapstick Thai comedy with Tuk Tuks .. complete with "boing, zap and whoo-hoo!" sound effects.

Somchai's with no originality. They can't even pull off a heist without copying a fictional MO.

Errr... He DID'NT pull it off.

[Shiver]

Cut!

Take two...

"Certainly Sir, would that be Visa or American Express? Transfer will be 4-5 days at 3%, the fees must be paid up front, we don't have actual money".

[Fullstop]

Cut!

Take two...

From a prison cell? I think additional planing, more movie watching and heaps of popcorn will be needed.

Maybe he should have got a "movie gun" rather than a knife. The kind that holds about 5000 rounds in a single compact magazine.

If he is in a prison cell, as long as he can smuggle a cell phone then he can call the A-Team who will get the jail break job done with a welder, gas axe and an old truck with makeshift bull bars, and nobody ever gets killed.

He was a very bad student.

[Fullstop]

Ironically ... Vin Diesel has about as much brains as a Thai bank robber too...

[Chicog]

Somehow I think he might have got the idea somewhere else.....

And he would have got away with it.......

"Thanisorn described how one bad decision drove him to become a master criminal." I think I missed the part of the article where he did anything that could be considered "master criminal"!

[worgeordie]

Thai bank robbers have a lot to learn,another example of mastermind planning,

when the driver of an ATM cash delivery truck,drove off leaving the guards at

the machine,drove to where he had his friend waiting with the get away vehicle,

a TUK TUK, !,which could only carry less than half the cash,and of course they

soon got caught,spending money on new cars,and a house.

[mike324]

He didn't learn anything from the movie other than the thought of robbing the bank.
