RickTik Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) My condolences to the couple who had their privacy and home space violated. However, there is a great lesson to be learned here. The reality is that in the grand scheme of things, 12,000 baht is chump change. They will easily survive the rip-off and make appropriate adjustments to their personal security. It sucks that it happened, but they will be fine. I had to laugh at a couple of the comments. No, people, the wife was not a part of this rip-off and invasion of privacy. I suspect it was some local punks who targeted the farang. They were probably jealous of him and thought they could "get paid". .

Go hijack your own. No one's stopping you wearing cargo pants. Go go for it... Personally speaking 12 000 is a small price to pay for not doing so... Clothes horses for courses and all that. ?

There is also a lot of experience on TVF. I noticed you didn't specify what kind of experience. Burned & bitter through their own misadventures. Now wallowing in cynicism and smug superiority to the people they have chosen to live among. Lacking the balls to get the fk out. experience is one thing. What you take from is it a completely different animal. Edited January 4, 2017 by Lex Talionis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyvolt Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 This thread is a classic. You get posters moaning and ranting when they don't get correct change at a shop which can amount to 5 Bhat, yet a man gets over 10k stolen, and half the posters here act as thou the man shouldn't be whinging. AHHH Thaivisa, the hypocrisy is just too funny sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nausea Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Aw c'mon, I'm as poor as a church mouse, but 12,000 bt is bugger all, hardly worth reporting. Hardly the crime of the century. If you leave money hanging around the house it will disappear. A Thai girl will go through your pockets as a matter of course, believe me Sherlock Homes has nothing on these girls. My girl can tell if I've been out or not just by the position of my shoes in the hallway. To be fair, it might be a bit of a shock to a newbie. You always know if was your girl or not because because she will be pissed off angry, if someone stole money that she thinks should be hers.

Radar501 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The culprit knew exactly where to look, given that the wardrobe is still neat and tidy. Hiding the loot in a pair of undies complete with brown skid mark probably wouldn't have helped either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farang1979 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Not sure I understand all the accusations that it was the girl pointing in the OP making her guilty of the theft. According to the OP she was with her husband when the theft took place.Yes call us lot cynical, but maybe the wife was in on it. Taking farang husband to the shop while the accomplice snuck in and stole the loot. They have known each other for years but just moved in a month ago...Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Yep, you're probably right. Can't see the reason why she would want to smash the golden egg after just moving in though following your reasoning.
