trainman34014 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Anyone wearing a helmet should be asked to remove it before entering the bank. Common sense, but not a lot of that in this country. The way banks are laid out here i am surprised they don't get robbed day in and day out. They would have been perfect foil for the British Blaggers in the 60's/70's with their Mk2 Jaguars and sawn off shotguns. They would have done so well that the Jag's would soon have become Aston Martin's ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DipStick Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 "Scrambling" a great word considering it appears a huge majority of Thai Police are grossly overweight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security: Excuse me Mr. Bank robber but could I ask you to remove your helmet before entering our bank. Robber: Oh,I'm terribly sorry sir. No pompem Security: Khrap Kun Khrap What planet are you on?

Old Croc Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Why is a bank robber called an artist? It's usually a fairly crude operation involving threats, cash grabs and fleeing. Not particularly artistic. Most crooks get caught here because they either forget to cover their face, or their getaway vehicle, the family scooter, is photographed by CCTV somewhere down the road. He passed the first hurdle, it might be a professional job! Edited February 27, 2016 by Old Croc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who go to banks to rob them, may not comply with the 'helmet rule' upon entry. -- Captain Obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khon Kaen Dave Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I bet the BIB are falling over themselves to find the 400,000,oh! and of course the robber,let alone scrambling. "I saw it first" 'No you didnt,i did" "No it was me.......Now where did that guy with the helmet go?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanukjim Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) This robber is lucky that he was not playing cards in the food store for all of 10 baht a hand,or he would have been caught. Edited February 27, 2016 by sanukjim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreanoOzzie Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) What's the bet he was some broke foreigner like that Aussie idiot from Nana last year... Edited February 28, 2016 by CoreanoOzzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
