I wonder if he was knocked off his bike by police.

I'll just wear this shirt so I blend in... no one will find me.

Give him the boots also. So sick and tired of my shit getting stolen. By thieves too lazy to work. You can't get any of them to work at all

Zoom into his eyes. Is he cross eyed? Would that make it hard to get away fast on a bike?

I am impressed by the Thai police (honestly) they solve crimes that would never have been solved in Sweden.

They check surveillance cameras etc etc and actually show a lot of energy.

Cudos to them.
