Someone needs to invent some kind of scumbag detection device that can be installed at airports.

"Police were told that the items, two Piaget watches and an Aigner handbag were worth a total of B2,496,980."

But only if they were not fake ...

An educated thief. He knows what items are of high value...

Hats off to the police....oh, wait..

Good con. Seems he paid a lot to police not to beat him. So, he got free a cap!

Hats off to Thai Police!

how many Thai police does it take to arrest a shoplifter?
