Monday duty hunt the neighborhood for thieves

Monday duty hunt the neighborhood for thieves

I was home and working at Monday night at 02.00 at night when I heard a small “crack” outside my window. I did not think about it that much because I have dogs running around outside. But after 10 min I went in to the bedroom to look some TV and I heard another “crack”.

I tried to look at the house next to mine that is a smaller house/office but it was dark and I know they do not live there. I took on some clothing and went out and look outside but nothing indicated that they had a break in. I went back and look from the Balcony and I could swear I could hear some voices mumble and a cigarette smoke from some where close to me.

I went to look for a flashlight in my house and I found one and went out and start flashing inside the office fences but everything looks ok. Still there was something bugging me and I called the landlord. She was asleep and she said nothing to worry about.

I was not convinced and went to get a chair and peaked over the high wall. Inside I could see one of the windows open and the fence removed. That’s it I thought some one is in there and I called the landlord one more time and she said ok I will call the police.

I waited a few min outside my house quit and suddenly a Thai guy came jumping over the wall. I flashed him with the light and he said in Thai

“What are you doing this is my friends house”

I said in English “yeah right stop right now”

He did not stop and walking to me and I took up my Police stick and hold it high and he got scared and start run and I hit him over the arm.

I did not have any shoes but I followed him a few min screaming “STOP HIM” but all I can see was people closing the doors as we came running past, thanks.

When he start running in to Klong Toi the slum area of Bangkok I stopped and went back and called the landlord one more time

“Are you going to call the Police now?”

She finally woke up and called and I followed with some of the Police officers around to look for the thief but he was gone. The police actually came very quick I was very surprised to bad my landlord was not that quick.

The owner of the house said thanks the next day even if I expected something more like a cake or something. But this is Thailand so I guess I build on my Karma or something.

I recon it’s an inside job and one of their messengers look like the guy; he actually looks like Paragon the famous Thai tennis player. I will have a look at him next week and let you know if we manage to catch him.

I also two new Thai words “jab Kamoiy” basically catch the thief it can be good to know next time I am out running after them.
