Dog snatchers caught within days after Facebook CCTV alert

CHANTABURI:-- A husband and wife performed an unusual crime reenactment in downtown Chantaburi yesterday - how they stole a Pomeranian.

The dog snatchers were fingered after the owner and his daughter posted CCTV of the theft, from outside their shop in the eastern Thai town, on Facebook, reports the Thai News Agency.

Multiple shares soon led police to the thieves in the nearby town of Khlung and within two days the snatchers were wai-ing the owners and asking for forgiveness.

Married pair Malinee Namwong,30, and Kraisorn Saklang, 31, said the dog, called "Ai See" and worth 30,000 baht, ran up to them as they parked their Honda Civic on Thursday. They decided on the spur of the moment to keep him thinking he didn't have an owner, they claimed.

Glad to have her pet back safely Nanthatporn Sae-lee, 17, said she did not want to press charges. Police, however, said that it was now a criminal matter and they would have to proceed with a charge of theft against the couple.

Bullshit. These lying thieves should serve a jail sentence for this.

I agree 100%! Jail time is required!

This happens all the time. I had a neighbor who had her dogs stolen while walking them at the park. Found them via Facebook, but didn't press charges. One of the problems here. Say you're sorry and all is forgiven.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CCTV Cameras again?

Time for the PM to ban all CCTV cameras and make the possession of them illegal.

They are putting Thailand on a bad daylight.

How come your neighbor didn't notice it when the thief cut the leash and ran away with the dog?

Or you mean your neighbor went to the park with the dog, let the dog run around while taking a nap in the shade, and hoped the dog would not attack other dogs or people, shit where kids play, cause a traffic accident, or be stolen?

Time for the PM to impose a dusk-to-dawn curfew on all dogs as well while he is about it so that we can all get a decent night's sleep!

She has 4 dogs. She goes to an abandoned rec center that has a huge and fenced in parking lot and let's her dogs run around. Nobody is ever there. expect this time. Came in fast and before she knew what was going on, opened their car door and grabbed her very small dog.

Be nice.

What I don't get is why was a 30,000 baht dog allowed to approach a car as it was parking? Was it not leashed? Was it not being supervised? Or was it just left to run around on the street like so many pet dogs here?

I though forgiveness was a typical christian thing... turns out here in Thailand it's a get out of trouble/jail card.

Sounds like a strange story to me.

Thais generally do not walk their dogs; they just open the gate and hope the dog comes back.

You also cannot just walk an untrained dog in a large (enclosed) park.

As this person walks their dog and even does it without a leash means they have invested quite some time and effort in training the dog.

Whoever spends that much time with their dog builds a connection with that dog meaning they will see it as much more than a mere possession; they probably see it as a family member.

When the dog got stolen, or kidnapped, they even searched Facebook for hours/days to find it back and were lucky to finally find clues online for how to get it back.

Then the thief/kidnapper says "sorry" and they decide not to press charges????

Three options:

1. the story is BS

2. there is more to the story than you are now telling

3. your neighbors are mentally challenged

Since you don't know my friends, how can you post a response like this? If you have dogs, you know how important it is to walk them on a daily basis. Especially big dogs, of which they have 2. Plus, 2 small dogs. They get walked every day. And yes, they are very well trained dogs. Like mine, when I call it, it responds immediately. The results of good training. And like this story, when returned, she decided not to press charges. They were taken by 2 teenagers.

I asked you to be nice, and you ignored that. Calling my neighbors that is BS also. Very rude. And against forum rules.

Why pay 30k for a dog when you can get one for free at any street corner?

I've gotten them from the pound and paid big money for purebreds. Apples and oranges. I use to be into Bouvier's. Had several that I paid big money for and they were fantastic. Great intelligence, temper, coat, etc. I got a few from rescue shelters and they were just not the same. Great dogs, but totally different. Also makes a big difference if they are raised from pups by only you.

Agree, but on the other hand, a couple of neighbours had their pedigree dogs snatched within a week Had they not been left alone outside because their owners were too bloody idle to walk them, this would never have happened. And they expected sympathy! huh.png

Have to disagree. In the UK my family bred pedigree collies. When I moved to Thailand, I'd adopted, or rather they adopted me, three soi dogs and found absolutely no difference in them except for every animal having it's unique personality, just like humans in fact. For this reason I prefer older dogs, you know what you're getting, even with previously ill treated dogs, they will be so grateful to you for taking good care of them for a change.

Please do not support puppy mills, particularly here where this odious business is largely unregulated. There are many wonderful rescue dogs here.

"A husband and wife performed an unusual crime reenactment in downtown Chantaburi yesterday - how they stole a Pomeranian."

Are they kidding? The cops require a re-enactment for grabbing a dog??

Where does it end?

I'm 100% against puppy mills. For sure. Only got my dogs from reputable breeders. As I said, I've also gotten many rescue dogs. With ZERO exceptions, the rescue dogs all had "issues". Some small, some HUGE. With ZERO exceptions, the dogs I got as puppies and raised myself were easier to train and more loyal. Plus, had the traits of the breed I was looking for. Appearance, Temperament, etc. You pretty much know what you are getting into.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purebred_dog

Reputable breeders attempt to produce the healthiest dogs the limited gene pool will allow, and buyers of purebreds primarily are interested in a puppy whose adult size, appearance, and temperament are predictable

But, we're massively off topic. Apologies.

Can we see pictures of the reenactment with the dogs pointing the finger?

Without the "finger pointing", the reenactment is not valid.

My intention is not to be argumentative but what 'issues'? Not one of my adoptees had a single problem, and they were already grown, bar one puppy I'd rescued from a motorway. Conversely, I have a very nice neighbour who, having bought two dogs from a farang breeder in CM, is at his wits end. No one is allowed in the house for fear of attack and he's shelling out $300 US every month to treat their many genetically inherited problems. It's a well known fact that many dogs having been bred for profit have genetic problems through interbreeding. Better off with a Heinz 57, least the gene pool's much wider biggrin.png

The 30k dog is just a social status symbol, nothing more. Bought to be shown off, and allowed to yap it's little tits off in the yard next door to you. tongue.png

As an aside, I've had 3 great dogs here from rescue places. -Smart, healthy, loyal dogs that can be easily trained and make great pets, guard dogs, and actual family members.

I would not have a "pedigree" dog given to me here in Thailand.

So if someone gave you a smart, healthy and loyal dog that can be easily trained and made a great pet and family member, you'd turn it down just because it was a pedigree dog? Really??

^Maybe I'm just overstating my case a little. I just hate the "puppy farm" industry here, knocking out "fashionable" dogs as status symbols to vapid consumers, whilst potentially great pets are chucked away, left at temples, or even eaten by people that know the price of everything, yet the true value of sweet FA.
