Re: British suspects arrested in Pattaya for ATM theft

Post by sargeant »

Last month when attending the court in Prachuap Kiri Khan on a case of FRAUD against my wife (which she won) we were told to wait outside the courtroom as there was a case in front of us.

I little later a young looking farang wearing blue prison shorts and an orange prison top chained hands and feet and chained to a Thai young man shuffled into the court.

Our lawyer who was inside dealing with the clerk or whatever, heard every word and what it was all about

When our case concluded I asked him what it was all about

He replied the Farang and the Thai guy together had stolen a washing machine :shock: :shock: :roll: :roll:
where was that i asked and was told Tippawan Hua Hin
where was the farang from------ he told me he was an American :shock:

seems not just the Thais are feeling the pinch and the crooks are not all brits

an aside to this is i am wondering why it did not make this forum or did i miss it

What an unambitious crime; I had one outside my rented house in Hua Hin for eight years and nobody stole it, luckily in my new house it's locked away in a store room although it's looking a bit tarnished after all those years in the rain!

Some people seem to value cleanliness I guess....
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
