Rob13 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 No word on how they knew who he was? Facial recognition software seems a little advanced for LOS, I don't see another way though., unless there was a sign-in book and he was stupid enough to use his real name.

Bluespunk Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) Ah, while this guy is clearly guilty and should be punished appropriately under the law, I do have to laugh at the number of apologists who are all over this thread calling for ridiculous punishments and making somewhat odd claims about brits/westerners. This idiot is a gift to some, gives a chance to vent bile. What is the legal punishment for theft of this sort?

Barely qualifies as a petty criminal. A heavy fine and banned forever from the kingdom would seem fair enough to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if he got 20 bht he is still a thief a low life worse than dog shit and should as I said have his hands chopped off so he can't steal again.

Scouse123 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Yes, it would be interesting to know how they were so on the ball especially in an airport the size of Suvaranabhumi!!! What did they do? Show his mugshot around MacDonalds? I think there must be a tiny bit more to it, mainly because I have no confidence in the abilities of the Thai police. Anyway, no doubt the good General will be doing some backslapping and ensuring his ' finest BIB ' are rewarded for their outstanding detective work. Now, what percentage of the 100,000 baht the woman ' alleges ' was in her handbag will they be expecting as a reasonable reward?? She probably went upstairs to the office, saw that the image was blurred as to what was in the bag, thought of a number and quadrupled it..l.......

Kabula Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Not guilty until all evidence is collected, witnesses interviewed, all video and still shots examined, charged, and wait to see how the matter proceeds. Millions that are currently incarcerated worldwide were not guilty and DNA evidence is currently supporting that while cold cases are currently being reopened and worked.

The prisons are just full of innocent people, and they are filled with a vast majority more guilty. No one is suggesting this fat slob of an english purse thief be sent to death row so lets not back up the court system 100 years with your suggestion.

Well I've read through the thread and haven't read a single post defending his actions. There are several ( myself included) who question some of the more excited suggestions for punishment, and one wondering, not unreasonably, why a bag containing ThB 100, 000 worth was left untended. None defending him, so don't get too carried away with allusions to "birds of a feather flocking together ", it simply isn't so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerangutang Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) In 2000, a Brit stole a rented motorbike from me. I didn't know him, never met him. I had rented a bike, parked it. He must have tried a key and it turned on. Amazingly, I found it in another part of town. I told cops. Cops spoke to him (without me present) and kicked him out of town. I would have done a lot worse to him. If I hadn't found the bike, I'd be out Bt.33,000. It's yet another proof of how pantywaist useless Thai cops are. I found the bike. I brought cops to the g.h. where the buttplug was hiding. Cops let him off as if he'd just spit on the sidewalk.

So if you get get caught running a red light you should be flogged? How about blinded so you can't drive again. Amazing the comments people make on this forum. He might get 6 months in the can. Not likely. More likely a big fine, deportation and banned from re-entry for life. No for running a red light he should be hobbled. Please use some logic.

ClutchClark Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 We have a bird called a Jay in CO. Part of the crow family. They are sneaky birds and when they steal some trickets they act the same way this guy did. His bodly language throughout this video is great. You can see every thought in his head from the moment he first turns around on the original bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I saw was a bloke recover a bag. Go on... Not trying to be a wiseguy but what is a Pom? Any history helpful. I thought that about the vid as well since a defense would be he took it to return it to owner but they busted him at airport and he still had not returned it.
