I thought they were stealing Harleys.... they're foreign..... in spite of ASEAN deals, motorcycle theft gangs are still a protected profession: Thais only.

Please refrain from referring to Cambodia and Burma people as ' foreigners ' because foreigners means

something entirely different in Thailand, and they are not the above people from those country...

Cambodian and Laotien again, Thais cannot do it.

Cambodian and Laotien again, Thais cannot do it.

Ummm, caught red handed on the stolen motorbike. Nationality has been confirmed obviously using ID papers.

So what's your point? Oh..... I get it, you just needed to get in your morning dose of Thai bashing eh?

Sorry to interrupt, please tell us again how great your home country is.....

Edit: BTW it's LaotiAn, not LaotiEn

The way the headline reads... Made me think it was a pack of farangs stealing bikes.

In this instance, good job RTP. This past week, I've come across many police checkpoints on side streets where the police appear to be checking licenses, registrations and ownership of motorcycles and scooters.

Now if the crimes committed against persons gets as much attention, the credibility factor for the police will raise. One can only wish.
