Dumb perp, none of the tablets work... !!

[slapout]

high dollar computers and they are left laying around in a classroom. I would disagree with the teacher who allowed no one had access to the classroom over the weekend. those 10 computers did not walk away themselves.

Maybe the computers were never there to start with if no one had access to the room. a audio converter is also missing. what is or where is a list of the other several valuable items missing from the cupboards? Sounds like no real inventory , safe storage for items of value, etc

Most tablets can be traced and blocked.

[Alwyn]

are these the same tablets that YL promised but never materialized?

[FangFerang]

Weird comments. The tablets did indeed work. No matter what you do, burglars can be discouraged, almost never prevented. Tablets that are blocked can be "unlocked" like cell phones and restarted. And yes, some of the tablets Yingluk promised were being delivered when the junta canned all the initiatives.

10 tablets worth 240000,must be iPads ,they were for children use !

[Shot]

If they were any of YL's they are worth about 2400 each.......Retail. I think someone added a zero.

[gyrosman]

I guess they never thought of computer cable locks or how about a alarm system.

Another scam Claiming 24,000 baht for each child's tablet made in China . It is never ending scams here in Thailand
