Why don't people ever learn that when visiting a third world country or any tourist area, wearing jewelry is asking for trouble. The lack of common sense is befuddling.

johnbarpic Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Why don't people learn stealing is wrong. Being able to buy such items comes with hard work. The reason people still steal is the punishment is way too soft in many cultures. I apprehended a thief while in Singapore by the time it came for me to make a second interview with police to be given a citizen commendation. The guy was serving 3 years with no parole. Tried to deny it was him on cctv & refused to regret his crime no mercy from the judge he also faced deportation after sentence served (result) plus the roughing up he received trying to evade my capture.

sahibji Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Pattaya again. Pattaya must be a sure winner for crime. A word of advise to tourists - DO NOT wear flashy jewellery that attracts attention. Have it suitable covered up while going out in public places. If they can not see it they will attempt to snatch.

arrowsdawdle Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Turn a 3-iron upside down and use it as a cane...until some idiot steps over the line and does something stupid, whereupon you get the pleasure of showing him your knock-down shot. Graphite shaft is less likely to break than steel, but steel makes a good skewer if it does break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punishment leniency is part of it. But, the core issue is how "something for nothing" entitlement cultures have proliferated disrespect for authority and work ethic.

captspectre Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 For years this has been happening, not just in Pattaya but all over, and it HAS been made public in all news sources. some people just NEVER learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 That type of robbery seems to be going up lately, easy money for the robbers since the police have yet to catch any of them, well not what I can read on-line anyway. Yes min 1 full year in the slammer for 1st offense, double up on the next one, 3rd= 5years. I noticed when 2 police men riding on a bike patrol, the passenger police man are on-line on his phone; protect and serve my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much better advise would be to stay away from Pattaya until the authorities realise something need to be done to get the tourists back. Maybe the police could do a better job?

mikebell Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Pattaya snatchers are an extension of the local constabulary who have a vested interest in NOT catching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobz Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Everyone talking about harsher penalties, that works tosome extent. The underlying problem is poverty which leads to addiction and broken homes which produces kids that fail school and then go on to become addicts and or criminals.

Talking about the expensive. flashy stuff that attracts thieves, if you're going to have to cover it up, then what's the point in wearing it? I know there are some who'll hold forth with a rant about their "right" to wear what they choose, so I guess that just makes it a must-have ego booster. 'Seems a bit dysfunctional though.

Tamoio Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Why wearing familiy jewelery and Gold Chain in such a criminal Place like Pataya!? Why no leave that at home ? Even in Rio de Janeiro you dont walk with that stuff around your neck in the streets! the Tourists getting more and more dumber! P.S Pattaya anyway should be ignored from Tourists! Dirty Beaches, Crime on the streets.......etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
