thaismog Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Are You prepared for thai thieves? Friend left at 0430hrs and returned from hospital at 0930hrs. His big cooking gas tank and regulator was gone. Yes, he reported the theft and all he got was loud laughter. His new WiFi cameras will arrive this week. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand is on the brink of anarchy IMO. Just keep all your valuable <deleted> indoors. And stay vigilant. I dont think the cops will do anything even if you provide them a video clip...they are too distracted by the virus....plus they'll be in a bad mood...all their pocket money is now throttled. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post daphnia88 Posted April 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2020 What's the point of the question "are you prepared for Thai thieves?" Do you want to warn us? If yes, that's not how you warn someone. Are you implying that we should keep an eye out for thieves that are Thai? What about other nationalities? We should trust them, then? It's common sense that in hard times like these when lots of people lose their jobs, crime rates will rise because people are desperate to survive. It's up to each of us to protect ourselves. No need to point fingers or mention nationalities. 9 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) So, was the hospital visit with positive results? No one wants to be the victim of theft and take proper precautions, but they are just "things" not sickness or life.

Puchaiyank Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Is this just a topic for Thai bashing? Boring! People all over the world are struggling to survive right now. Consider yourself lucky if you have sufficient assets to get through uncertain time. Imagine if you did not!

I saw the BIB out this morning on the 3240 route into Pattaya. They were probably trying to get some Tea Money before the pot runs dry. And as for a WI-FI security Camera ! why are you wasting money on that, as the Police wont even look at your recordings. All it will tell you is that some lowlife nicked something that belonged to you, but you will know that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if you are living in Thailand and know someone who was robbed in Thailand, and you’re posting on a Thai expat website, you are hardly likely to be warning people about UK burglars? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtank Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Only to be expected. Thais have been put out of work or forced to close down their businesses with no help from their pathetic government. What are they supposed to do? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But are you seriously suggesting that we should be in complete denial of the existence of burglars in the UK just because we are posting on a Thai expat website? Or is this the reason why we should IYHO only be placing the spotlight on burglars in Thailand as part of some Grand Thailand Demonisation Project? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadee Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The moral of this thread is: buy home insurance. If Thaismog's friend who had the gas bottle and regulator stolen had insurance, he could have made a claim. Better than getting laughed at!

Popular Post Skallywag Posted April 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2020 I live by the motto, don't bring or buy anything in Thailand that you are not prepared to lose. My days of collecting "stuff" and keeping a home or vehicle are long gone. Being retired is simple, safe, and easy here if you want it to be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 IMO condos have always been safer than houses. People with no income are going to do things they normally would not do. Best not to go out with a lot of cash on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think you'll fare against 5 or 6 idiots? Sorry, I forgot about social distancing. Isn't a belt bag telling people you have something of value?

natway09 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I think we are all aware that in these very tough times (for some, more than others) that there will be a definite increase in theft, lock up your valuables & stay safe.
