Robbery at Pattaya diner. Was it the fake watch vendor?

By Digital Admin -

 

 

PATTAYA: -- At 9pm, on the evening of November 9, Pattaya police received reports of a theft at Lee Diners, a restaurant on Second Road, central Pattaya.

 

The victim, thirty-eight year old Mr Georges Falque, a tourist from Belgium, was having dinner with his girlfriend, Ms Supab Raksapakdee, when a young Thai man approaced and appeared to be selling fake watches.

 

The couple declined and continued with their meal but, soon afterwards, Mr Falque realized his bag, hanging at the back of his chair, was missing.

 

Inside was 10,000 baht in cash.

 

Investigating officers have taken a statement but it appears the CCTV security system is not working and so nobody has any idea who stole the bag.

Hanging on back of the chair! ,some people just ask for problems,

It must have been the cop, he is the one pointing in the photo - that is always an admission of guilt

Yeah, 'cause being scoped out by a guy openly selling fake watches is a common occurrence in restaurants in Belgium.

Proper shop owners do not allow outside vendors on their premises.  Even though it is Pattaya, a shop owner has a duty to chase them away and report them for trespass.

Expensive lesson. Hope he learned it and does not need "refresher courses"

Nope, Belgium is too cold to eat outside at least half the year. So, it could easily occur only half as often in Belgium.

A shop owner has no duty to chase anyone away unless they want to, it's their premises.  They have just as little duty to report them for trespass.

...sounds like this guy was 'marked'.....

 

 

....define 'girlfriend'.......???

 

does anybody know where is "lee diners" on second road or does this place have another name?

 

what i hate about Pattaya, is the stream of vendors one after another  coming right into the bars hassling you to buy something, dont get that in Bangkok,

Looks like he got Falqued over due to his own mistake.

Could be some-one else too, who didn't make sawadee to pair just stole the bag ...

Probably scared of getting a good hiding from the scum that controls those vagabonds.

Bit difficult to eat dinner with knife and fork when holding the bag with one hand, isn't it.

No but il watch out for it..

If you want to bring a bag , wear it on your belt and keep it in front of you.

The watch floggers invade every venue regardless; it is not the owners fault but the customers who engage with them...

There is something called the Restatement of Law.  It is essentially a guide of legal principles that have survived for hundreds of years in the common law.  The duty of an innkeeper (which includes a restaurant owner) is to protect their customers from unreasonable risk of harm, especially where a failure to act makes the premises unsafe (which includes purely property loss).  Obviously, you are far more wise that hundreds of years of decisions made by common law judges.

"Obviously, you are far more wise that hundreds of years of decisions made by common law judges."   

 

Well, it's seems that I may be "wiser" (to use your word) than you are, or at least I can read better than you.   What you refer to is applicable only under US law (this is Thailand) and even in the US the Restatements are not any indication of duty and are not binding in any way.   Restatements of Law did not exist before 1923 so where do you get the "hundreds of years" bit from?

Nope, Restatement is common law.  It includes all common law jurisdictions, not just US jurisdictions, and is considered the majority view without reference to statutory schemes.  Restatement summarizes hundreds of years of legal precedents, even though it is only updated once every few decades.

and a bit more difficult to  get money taken from a zipped front pocket.

10,000 is enough to buy sleeves.

You mean farang bar 'managers' rudely tell them to bugger off whereas the Thai business owner has much, much more kriengjai.

and if you mean "expose your customers to unreasonable bother and risk of harm", you are correct.
