webfact Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Video: Crafty old farang steals a Thai's money at supermarket checkout video screenshot CCTV footage posted on Facebook showed an aging foreigner at a supermarket checkout in Pattaya. Only he notices that a banknote has fallen on the floor while a Thai woman completes her purchase. Then with a deft movement of a sandal-ed foot he covers the money and casually retrieves it before pocketing it. He clearly believes his "heist" has gone unnoticed. But thousands have now viewed his thieving and "Kj.Jeab" called for leads to find him after the footage was posted on Pattaya Talk. It happened at the Friendship Supermarket in South Pattaya at 2.41 pm. Thai posters rounded on the man for not telling the woman about her fallen money with many saying this was typical. Only Tanapat Chonticha saw a funnier side saying in Thai: "Work is pressing". -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2019-06-11 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstevens Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 If you saw someone drop money in a situation like that and didn't mention it to them and rather surreptitiously picked it up and kept it for yourself, that in my mind is the same as stealing it. Shameful, that man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neeray Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 What a disgusting sight. And I'm not just talking about the theft (of the 20 baht note). Hopefully he'll head home soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 We must admit, the temptation of pocketing 20 bhat that are not yours, what an adrenaline rush must it be, poor guy, he must have needed that 20 baht badly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also just returned from Korea after having cosmetic eye-rounding surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Dwyer Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The guy started to get nervous/excited when he saw the money drop and quickly moved in to cover the note when he had chance.Looks like he knew exactly what he was doing and probably done similar before !Most of us would simply point out to the lady she had dropped something irrespective of country/gender/religion etc , it’s the right thing to do !!I have no sympathy for this guy when the BIB comes a knockin’ on his door.

mercman24 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 ha ha that is so funny, i was in a bar , with a load of Thais celebrating a birthday, i keep my small notes in a plastic plastic zip lock bag in my pocket, had about 150 baht in it, i dropped it on the floor, i think every bloody Thai in the bar claimed it as being theirs.

Yes, he does seem to have a great mass and his gravity alone (compared to a bullet) would draw the bullet towards him, even if your aiming is bad.

If I exercise some creative thoughts I can be sympathetic. Has the financial knots tightened so much on this guy to make 20 baht worth this? Is it perhaps 1000, a substantial sum to some here? I can't tell, all my 20 baht notes are damp and creased up! Silly bugger! Any different than the waitresses hiding 40+ baht of change under the notes on the silver tray?
