Thief strips down to underwear, swipes stash of briefs

[reader]

From The Thaiger

An underwear thief, dressed only in his undies, drove to a house and stole a collection of underwear, later claiming it was the result of a dare. The incident took place on the morning of May 18 in Ban Pa Tueng Ngam, Pa O Don Chai sub-district, Mueng district, Chiang Rai.

The homeowner, 44 year old Somphop shared CCTV footage on Facebook seeking assistance from the public to identify the perpetrator. The footage shows a black car arriving at his single-story rented row house around 6am.

A man, wearing only white underwear and with a pink towel draped over his right shoulder, exited the vehicle and headed straight for the clothesline outside Somphop’s house. He then proceeded to take eight pairs of underwear before returning to the car and driving away.

Reviewing the CCTV footage revealed the bizarre theft.

After posting the video on Facebook, Somphop was contacted by the underwear thief, who admitted to the act. The man claimed that he had stolen the underwear as part of a dare from a friend who was with him in the car.

Somphop mentioned that he would meet the perpetrator at the Chiang Rai City Police Station tomorrow to discuss the matter further.

“I don’t want the stolen items back. I just hope this person won’t repeat such acts elsewhere.”

I don't suppose anyone here has a link to the video? It's difficult to look up stuff without both the given and family name.

If it was a dare, he seems to have met the brief, even if license plate in full view. It was one of those circular hanging racks. One of my Moonlight models driving us had his steering wheel on the right and I cannot discern whether the thief is driving, a passenger, or has any other vehicle occupant though he claims he was accompanied. Red label reads “the culprit”.

Thanks for the video. I'm amazed that the victim leaves so much out in the open. That's not something one can do here in Los Angeles. People must be very honest in whatever area that happened.
