rooster59 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 "Excuse me old chap - this is a hold up!" Image: Thairath BANGKOK: Seven Eleven staff in a branch north of Bangkok were surprised when an armed robber asked very politely for the contents of the till in the early hours of Saturday morning."Nee kheu garn pon khrap!" he said that translates loosely as "Excuse me, this is a robbery".But when the startled staff opened the till to reveal not a single banknote the polite robbers fled into the night empty handed.Sam Khok police were called after the attempted robbery at the 7-11 branch on the Pathum Thani - Sam Khok Road at 1.50am. Just two male staff were present - Prapa Homjem, 36, and Amarin Khumrak, 20.Prapa told police: "It was drizzling with rain and there were only us two in the store, no customers. Two men on a Honda Click arrived and parked outside".The men were in jeans with one wearing a black shirt and the other a khaki style shirt. Both had full face helmets."One of the men pulled out a gun and said very politely that this was a robbery. I opened the till to show him there was no money - I had just put it in the safe", added Prapa.Both men ran out empty handed and escaped into the night before police and the store manager were alerted. CCTV footage will be examined in an effort to track down the men. Source: Thairath -- 2016-07-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilsonandson Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I have a video from the net of the cctv footage but due to Thaivisa rules on Thai language not being allowed in videos I cannot post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZZPA Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Well at least he asked politely. As my father used to say manners makes a man. And so it does but not really effective in a robbery. "Give me all the money or you're f#cking brown bread!!!" is more the type of thing you would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernphil Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 That is not a 7-eleven in North BKK , it is in the provincial town where I live 800k north of Bankers I recognised it right away. Oh but wait , I don't recognize the staff at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahibji Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 very 'civilized' robbers and very fortunate shop attendants. it does not take much for the situation to escalate out of control particularly if the offenders are on drugs. i find the situation weird but at times truth is stranger than fiction.
