Saharat
shows police what the thief did to his belongings.

Apparently 400,000 baht in gold wasn’t enough for one
burglar who, after cracking open the safe in a Thai taxi broker’s house,
also stole his sandals.
Police were called Oct. 11 to the Chokchai Village 4 home
of 47-year-old Saharat Sa-Imi. The lock on the front gate and front door had
been cut and the inside of the house was in disarray.
A bedroom safe was also broken open and a digital camera,
gold necklace and an 18-baht gold bracelet worth more than 400,000 baht was
missing.
What really set Saharat off, however, was that the
burglar took his favorite, and expensive, pair of sandals and left a pair of
cheap flip-flops in their place. The symbolic move may backfire on the
burglar, however, as police scooped up the shoes as evidence.
