Jingthing Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Her name is Ms. Pailin. Maybe she's a Thai version of a Mama Grizzly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chang_paarp Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 She explained that she was stealing the chocolate bars in order to sell them to other stores so that she could buy milk for her 2 year old infant. Further investigation revealed that this was not the first time Ms. Pailin had been arrested for theft. She had recently been caught stealing Body Lotion and Toothbrushes from the Big C department store at Bangplee, Bangkok in November 2010, and was currently on probation for that offence. Not very successful at her chosen occupation, might be time for a visit to a career advisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I love how in Thailand that the press reports the "motivation" behind theft crimes. Such as the youths stealing a necklace desiring money to enjoy the local nightlife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickinpattaya Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 As far as the motivation goes its a pretty good excuse. Not saying I aprove but it sounds like desperation as a mother. I hope they show pitty on her. Over in the uk its usually to feed a drug habit not to feed a child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
