Paying BiB to regularly check on property.

[worgeordie 44,515]

So the smart burglar ,looks at the book, OK he comes around everyday

at 3.00, Tomorrow I will be there at 1.00 and if owners are out,job done.

I suppose all those 1000 Baht they collect go into the fund for the New Years

policeman's ball.

Ditto. 1000 baht/month .. they come twice a day like clockwork ... Sign the book and leave. Give them something for Songkran and New Year. They are appreciative and look after us well. Money well spent in my opinion. That said, I do have cameras and an alarm system self installed.

What is BiB?

 

[moontang 2,253]

Thanks for the numerous helpful replies.  I am having trouble with a mercenary lady.  She kind of won't go away.  I worked for 2.5 years as the only farang in a 600 unit building, to build trust and respect.  I am the sole owner of the condo.  It seems like she is trying to extort me.  I met her last January (Sukhumvit) and we had some good moments, but it became obvious that it wasn't going to work.  Go ahead, call me stupid...but she was trying to break in with a pair of scissors..did a lot of damage to my door.  I got security, and they called BiB.  She practically had a standoff and was combative as Hell.  She gave two rookie cops all they could handle..and they were so careful not to hurt her.  They took her down to the lobby, and said you talk here or we go to police station.  Four days later, same..I grabbed my important papers and did a runner..She is in the top five craziest I have ever known.  In my culture, we solve matters without the police.  So, that is why I am asking about police checks (which is different than having someone arrested).  22 years of coming here, and this is my worst situation..I can stay away indefinitely, but am concerned for her welfare, as well as my rights as a property owner.

Actually I have CCTV and I have seen burglars twice in the last 7 years on it. They turn down my street, look in my yard, look at the red box and move down and steal a bicycle from the neighbors yard. They really don't like the red box.

Agree with most positive posts so far, wouldn't stop theft for example, but for sure the response would be far more urgent. Also handy for neighborhood issues eg idiots burning household rubbish.

Also good for getting to know local BIB. Missus has at times had to ring the boss when they slacken off occasionally, immediate response, knowing it effects the tea money flow. 

May vary from area to area, in this case a business residence on outskirts of a regional city.

Sounds like you have some great friends. I'd recommend a course in behavioural science. Take care, look after yourself old boy.

Let me take an educated guess...you, nor your partner, never have trouble with crazy girls?

[Hanuman2547 520]

I would suggest having the BIB come by for a daily check and sign the slip in the red box.  I would also invest in a good home security system along with cameras. I'd also keep one camera on the little red box.
