Chicog Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) They confessed to the robbery, saying that they wanted to find money to buy educational resources. Is that a euphemism for mature hookers? Edited July 25, 2016 by Chicog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvr181 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Damn - my thinking has been compromised. I always thought that the farang male was the ATM not the machine? But I hope the tourist gets his money back. A crime of opportunity that can happen in any country of the world, not just Thailand. These kids should thank their lucky stars (or amulets) they are not living in a devout Muslim country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelomsak Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Years ago the son of my GF at the time was in Montreal. Used a ATM outside a bank,as soon as the money popped out he was knocked unconcious by someone and woke up in from of ATM money was gone. This crap happens every were. This was 2 pm in the afternoon in day light busy street. Edited July 26, 2016 by lovelomsak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo the Face Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Deerhunter, what did you do with the money? If it wasn't you,I would sue somebody..... The forum headline reads " American tourist robbed at ATM by the Deerhunter". ... and if you read something on TV , then you know it must be true .

KhonKaenKowboy Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I would have picked up the smaller one, and used him as a weapon to beat the less smaller one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobin Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Stealing not good but folks here are really getting bent out of shape over US$285. Let's get real, plz. Chopping a hand off for cost of a 'good' bottle of wine seems 'out of shape' to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyflower Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm sorry Jobin, but I find US$285 quite a lot of money, and I can buy a good few bottles for that amount, but I agree that cutting off hands is a bit extreme. I can't get the full story, something wrong with the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
