Same thing happened to me a week or so back, went to the gate and a guy was trying ( I think) to sell tickets for charity. Next thing, he reached through the gate and broke the chain from my neck. I was unable to stop him as the gate is remotely controled but got the number of his bike 2-200 red plate.

MIB said that this is currently a common crime, a Thai friend had told my wife a week before not to wear yellow gold on the street, she had not even thought that would apply to our own home!

The only up side to this story is that a inscribed gold "dog tag" on the chain given to me by my wife several years before, was found on the ground just outside the gate, so the only loss was only monetary.

Had one on the roof a few weeks ago and the Thai lady next door saw one off not long ago in a close by area. Ahole threw rocks at the dogs, one of which got an infection in the wound which has resulted in amputation of the back leg. First incidents round here in a long time, could be the same guy I guess.
