“We are now checking with car rental agents to see if they are missing a car,” he added.

And the car did have a license plate, I noticed on the picture. Sounds easier to check the registration of the car and its owner than checking all the car rental agents in Phuket. But this is Thailand so same, same but different.

 I hope the witnesses were Thai. It means they can tell the difference between Farangs.

 

A good thing as far as I am concerned.
