The BiB held up the 7-Eleven?

It was the fake mask that caught him....

Cant be true.

I read it on here ( with tedious baseless regularity) that all thai cops are lazy, corrupt and worse than the criminals they are supposed to be apprehending.

 

Well done RTP.

Get far too much undeserved stick on here by people who have no idea what you do.
