Thai Nurse Puts up Banner Shaming Ayutthaya Police after her Home Robbed 9 Times in 3 Months

AYUTTHAYA – A nurse has put up a cloth banner in front of a home in Ayutthaya’s Maharaj district to complain that her house was burgled nine times in the past 2-3 months and police have been unable to arrest any suspect.

Running out of patience, the nurse decided to hang a cloth banner in front of her house with a message calling for police help.

The message on the banner reads, "This house has been robbed for the ninth time and the thieves are still at large. We are begging police for help. There is nothing left for the burglars to take."

Mrs Napaporn Khamdee who works as a nurse at Ang Thong hospital disclosed that she lost about one million baht worth of valuables from the nine break-ins in the past few months.

Desperate nurse put up banner in front of her house to protest about break-ins



AYUTTHAYA: -- A desperate nurse has put up a cloth banner in front of a home in Ayutthaya’s Maharaj district to complain that her house was burgled nine times in the past 2-3 months and police have been unable to arrest any suspect.

Mrs Napaporn Khamdee who works as a nurse at Ang Thong hospital disclosed that she lost about one million baht worth of valuables from the nine break-ins in the past few months.

She said that she lives alone in her house in Village 3, Tambon Pitpien of Maharaj district, because her husband who is serving in the army has been assigned to work in other provinces.

She added that quite often she was on night duty at the hospital in Ang Thong and nobody was at home a couple of days in a row. The house was locked every time she left home but yet the burglars managed to broke into the house.

Mrs Napaporn pleaded with the police in Maharaj district to catch the burglar or burglars to help ease her plight.

If she offers a reward, the police would have solved it yesterday and caught all 9 seperate burgarly teams and their associates.

1 million baht stolen over 3 months. Unless that included high value items like jewelry/jewellery, that appears to be a lot of stuff. I don't know what the combined salary is of an Army person and a nurse, but I wouldn't have thought they had a high disposable income.

In any event, just shows the ineptitude of the local police.

Police Incident Report.

Question 1: Are you will to offer a reward?

Question 2: How much?

If yes to Q 1, it will be immediately solved.

If no to Q 1, we are unable to allocate police resources this decade. Come back once you have saved enough to answer Q 1 correctly.

pro tip for anybody: if robbed more than once at the same location, invest in a good security camera that records viewable video

Terrible advise. What happens to you when your CCTV records an off duty cop breaking into your house? Or the son of an influential local figure? I will tell you, you will join the list of thousands that just "disappeared" never to be seen again.

A nurse with 1 million baht of valuables?

Why the question? She has probably acquired stuff over a number of years including the possibility of some of it being gifts from a marriage or whatever. The post is about the ineptitude of the police.

You are right, doesn't matter how or who attained such things....I just read another post about the average household debt in Thailand being roughly 250000 baht........times are changing.

There seems to be an ineptitude of learning how to hold on to valuables also.

My single female neighbour was robbed a few times and gave up on the local police too. I also suffered a burglary and lost a camera around same time. The likely culprit was a well known light fingered 14 year old boy, who had a reputation for break-ins. Her solution? Wire the window grills where the little tea leaf was getting in up to the mains. I was always expecting to come home and see this lad lit up like a Xmas tree on her window frame. But the word was he got scared out of town and ended up in Ubon Ratchatani, where he carried on his cat burglaries and ended up being caught eventually and sent to youth jail. My barber pointed him out in a photo in the Daily News.

But 9 times in 3 months is way OTT and it sounds like they need to employ a bloody great rottweiler or something similar (probably not a good idea to electrocute your neighbour's kids), as the police cannot be relied on to catch a cold, let alone the local hoodlums.

Nurses make good money. You would think after burglary #1 she would get a security system!

[Robroona]

A nurse with 1 million baht of valuables?

Your point is what exactly? A nurse is supposed to be poor, is that what you mean?

A double income family, inherited possessions or money, whatever? A million easy.

I'd like you to explain exactly what you mean with your snide comments.

I know thai nurses who make that in 3 months, private hospitals.

As a nurse her concern should be not running out of patients

If she offers a reward, the police would have solved it yesterday and caught all 9 seperate burgarly teams and their associates.

Or rather, if she had offered a reward the police would have arrested 9 separate people who they claim were the burglars, produce some photos which purported to show "evidence", and then claimed the reward, before charging the suspects, getting any convictions or recovering any of the stolen property.

PS: the 9 arrested may well have been involved in some other illegal activity.

[DoctorG]

The burglars will probably come back and steal her sign.

[impulse]

Must not be very good burglars if they still haven't stolen everything after 9 visits.

[anto]

Must be frightening as well as the pain of loosing your valuables .A neighbour in a nearby Moobaan,here in Sansai ,Chiang mai was killed by a robber he came across in his house yesterday .The Police are all over the place this morning ,but it wont be reported in any Farang media .

Better security needed plus big,big hungry dog

And a gun....Problem solved!!

[empireboy]

Good for her having the courage to advertise not only the slackness of the police but the fact that she's an easy mark!

There. The first post and condoning the corruption everyone rants against on this forum. In other news, a migrant worker has filmed a cop extorting money from other migrant workers on a train and taking him to task for it. Good on these brave people for taking a stand. And shame on you hypocritical 'just roll over' farang. I'm guessing I won't ever see your user names on yet another all-Thais-are-corrupt thread

Did you even read the story? She's already been robbed NINE times. Believe way past worrying about being an 'easy mark'. Duh.

[spidermike007]

This is further proof (in case anybody needed any) that the RTP is not a law enforcement agency, but rather a revenue collection agency.

Some advice to this poor nurse.

1. Consider moving. If I was broken into even two or three times, I would.

2. Install a security system, with cameras.

3. Consider an electrified fence. I suggest 1660 volts. It kinds of shocks the thief into submission. Doubt they would ever bother with your house again, with those fried fingers.

A nurse with 1 million baht of valuables?

I know thai nurses who make that in 3 months, private hospitals.

You think that a nurse, even in a private hospital, is making $120,000 USD a year? That's a joke, right?
