meltingpot2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Notice what looked like a girl and guy standing behind the man just turned and left as soon as they realized a robbery was underway. I use Cash Deposit Machines a lot "but only inside a mall where a bunch of small bank branches are clustered together with bank security at each branch standing around." And pretty much the same for ATMs...inside a mall usually but when outside only an ATM that has a lot of activity/foot traffic going on...none of this using that "lone ATM on a soi corner thing." Notice what looked like a girl and guy standing behind the man just turned and left as soon as they realized a robbery was underway. Definite Bystander Effect. I recently had an accident while cycling in Bangkok. When cycling on main road, a van coming from opposite direction turned right (in to soi) suddenly. So I braked, bicycle lost balance. I fell off bicycle. There were many people around before the accident. Next minute no one to be seen. I noticed my bicycle had been moved to the side of the road by someone (it was on the middle of the road). Not a single person asked if I was Okay. (I wasn't because had to be taken to hospital by ambulance). The driver of the van tried to speed away. Even with injuries to both arms I managed to stop him and took photo of registration plate with my mobile phone, then called police. In the video of this post you see the woman on the right look around. The person on the left disappears, woman on the right does the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil Baron Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 looks a bit staged to me. He never made any attempt to fight back for his money. He should of turned around and bit the robber on the nose. I like your style Phil but the nasty robber was wearing a motorcycle helmet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantilley Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 That looks staged -- possibly for the insurance ? "Staged" for insurance? What insurance are you referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evadgib Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) I'm referring this to the 'dubious robberies' panel. I couldn't see what might have been in his left hand either. Edited August 12, 2015 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lildragon Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 People saying that this looks staged, the robber could be concealing a gun/knife under his jacket and jamming it into the victims ribs and saying he will shoot unless he hands over the cash. It's all fine and well saying you would fight etc, let's see you try that when you have a gun/knife jammed against your body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What insurance are you referring to? maybe not for insurance but simply finding an excuse to his wife as he would had spent the 50.000 in gambling or other (bad) ways... (mia noi ?)

Asiantravel Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I am thankful that such crimes are very rare in Thailand. LOL that means absolutely nothing. You will see more of this as economic conditions continue to tighten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meltingpot2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Robber will have to deal with people sneaking-up behind him (and unexpected embraces) - in prison. Edited August 13, 2015 by meltingpot2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwanatickey Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Well done to all the hard posters that said this was staged, we know how tough you all are, ex Special forces, Navy seals, IDF, SAS, and the cream are Royal Marines, tough posters on here would have taken the mugger out with two fingers to his torso . Tough guys, I respect you, because you are not an untrained civilian at a cash point, that's why he didn't target you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reasons to complain about things there! Actually, from what I see here, the Thai police are to be complimented on a good arrest.

Surely the word "alleged" should have been inserted somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
