There's no fixing stupid! Thai gold shop robber goes back to sell the loot where he stole it from

It may be only January 2nd but here at Thaivisa we think we already have a strong candidate for dumb Thai criminal of the year 2020. 

 

Meet Seuppong Wongboriphat - aged 36. Here is his story....

 

He told police that he had gone to Bangkok to open a coffee shop but the economy being the way it is, it was not a success. 

 

So he decided to go home to mum in his home province of Sisaket in Thailand's north east. 

 

There things were tough - he had no work and no money. So he decided to rob a gold shop on December 5th.

 

He got away with five baht weight in gold (worth a little over 100,000 baht) from the Yaowarat shop in Uthum Pornphisai district.

 

He went to 8 different gold shops in the area to cash in his loot but none of them would give him the full value.

 

With the financial demands of new year approaching he decided that the only way he would get his asking price would be to go back to the shop he stole from. 

 

After all, they wouldn't remember him after nearly four weeks had elapsed. 

 

Wrong. 

 

The owner of the show recognised him immediately and kept him talking while the cops were secretly called. 

 

Seuppong is now in custody. 

 

Daily News reported that he had just got out of prison in November after facing a drugs charge.

Gold prices hardly vary from shop to shop, not only stupid but greed was the catalyst to his capture...all for the sake of a few hundred baht....must be a face thing I suppose

Or rather...must be a farce thing.

Curious why the shops wouldn’t pay him the value of the gold. The price is posted daily in every shop.

This is how these dodgy gold shops operate they sell you something telling you inflated value then when you sell to them they tell you it is worth much less.  They all collude the same too as evidenced by the eight shops.  They should be jailed as well as him.
