A childish idiot.  So easy to imagine a six year old in a schoolyard behaving the exact same way.

 

But she's not six years old.  Give the phone back to its rightful owner and lock this one up for a few days.  Then fine the lawyer the full amount of whatever fees he charged for helping to waste the court's time.

 

 

[thhMan]

It would be real nice if someone saw her car or scooter and took it home, after leaving a note there that demanded XXXXX amount of THB as the vehicle was just left there....

We can only dream :)

[khunpa]

LOL!

 

Now we are at the "Save Face" part. No matter how stupid the whole case is, this woman will never give up.

 

The Thai Lose-Face concept at its best.

If I ever saw an iphone left somewhere I'd put a sympathy card under it, not steal it.

This kind of thing seems like it became common with the rise of yaba.

I guess She contacted the owner about reward because i phone 7 only opens with figerprint touch of the Real Owner.

I totally agree, another Thai trying to get money from somebody else.  Any honest people or with a conscience for that matter would return the phone, no questions asked.  I know I would and I would be happy to find the rightful owner.  But we are talking about a Thai lady here, mind you there are still some honest people in this country, thank God/Buddha.

I agree with you 100%.

[darksidedog]

In the Land of Buddha, a genuine example of Karma at work, where the wrongdoer gets paid back. Som nam na to the dumb girl. She will lose at court too.

Well hiring a lawyer is a positive step he should be able to explain the law to her but then again maybe not.

And I hope that if she does, and loses her case she would have to pay her lawyer a minimum of 5,000 Bahts, that would look good on her.

[Beats56]

She must have fell out of a tree and hit every dumb branch on the way down.

What a ding dong.

 

[Abilene]

Her husband is the taxi triver who found 1m Baht in the back seat and returned it but didn't get a tip.  This is a revenge on society crime.

[Gary A]

If I were foolish enough to pay the exorbitant price for an Apple phone, I would certainly be happy to get it back for 5,000 baht regardless of who had the phone.

The fingerprint protection is an option you can use if you want , as is a number code password.
If you want to open the phone by just pressing the home button you can do that also.
You have 3 options.
As the finders sister contacted the owner I would assume that the phone was already unlocked or had no password/ fingerprint protection enabled .

No jury's in this country mate.

[jhonnie]

in Australia the charge is called stealing by finding , and  the cops

 could probably add a few more to that list as well

No juries in the Thai justice system. Only judges.

No.  Her lawyer will take instructions from her.   If she says fight, he will.fight. Only if she asks him for advice will she be possibly told the truth.  And it depends how honest or unscrupulous he is as well as her.

I hate using example such as this to make sweeping comments, especially political ones... 

 

But... its seems this thief has taken a leaf out of the politicians book... heck, pretty much everyones book here... 

 

... Do something which is clearly morally reprehensible, get caught for it... fight it with complete indignation... like a 5 year old...

She's a old ugly disgusting whore from soi bukao she has no moral, empathy or honesty in her blood.

Hilarious stuff.

Cannot write a better script.

Blackmail at its' best.

And who has custody of the phone now ?

Why does one assume such a logical thing?  TIT

[Cracker2000]

iPhone was probably locked, but it displays the owner name and contact number so you can get in touch, also if its charged then its traceable by "find my phone"

 

I bought 02 iPhones 6+ on Ebay in the UK back in May 2016, both were up for sale as "spare parts only" as the sellers claim they had forgot their passwords, both were stolen!

 

I contacted 01 owner in North Yorkshire who drove down to Manchester same day an collected it, telling me he knew who stole it as he had used the  "find my phone" function and been to the guys hows, but Police weren't interested. He insisted on giving me 20 pounds reward even though I didn't want it.

 

Other guy was in Southern Ireland and when he got back to me, I shipped the phone to him after he paid the shipping costs in advance.

 

Contacted Ebay online and I told them the phones were stolen, who then deleted the Adverts....thus making it impossible to contact them again about the issue for a refund as there customer services is entirely dependent on referencing the adds via their portal...total F*****!

 

Then went to PayPal to refund me for allowing the sale of stolen property and spent 4 months arguing with them.

 

First seller fail to contest the case so I got a refund relatively quick, the other case went beyond their own 'statute of limitations' so they denied my claim!....So I went to complaints and threaten them via various social media consumer rights groups, they change their mind and settled.

 

Morel of the story...sometimes being a good Samaritan is hard work

Positive balance.

(Note to Thai bashers)

This woman obviously has a low moral character. 

I've had a tuk tuk driver return my phone in Bangkok, that another passenger "found" in the tuk tuk. That 'took' going back to my condo, locating me inside and running up six flights of stairs and not wanting a reward.

 

Whilst I used to do the same in Australia, I had another taxi driver 'friend' there that never returned a phone left in his cab. He had about six.

 

Different strokes for different folks.

A "positive balance", from a Thai apologist, that thinks this is a Thai bashing thread.
