ORIGINAL POSTERChiang mai Expats, if anyone recognizes this women please tell me, she stole from my friends store yesterday (and another store) in 1 Nimman.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A post circulating in a Chiang Mai expat group seeks help identifying a woman accused of stealing from a friend's store in Nimman. Several comments suggest reporting the theft to police, while others debate the implications of theft and the appropriateness of public shaming. Discussions surrounding the nature of the crime, potential mental health issues, and different cultural perspectives on theft create a contentious atmosphere. Some users express skepticism regarding the account, suggesting the story may not be as straightforward as presented.

Another fatal flaw of the dangerous blend of social media and Thai law. The the west we are ‘innocent until proven guilty’, in Thailand it’s the other way, so anyone can accuse almost anyone of anything, and they have to prove otherwise.

A thief is a thief & someone assaulting someone is an assailant. Watch some more movies & catch on ! 😂😂
Mac *********
My Sherlock question is: At what point did they realize the assailant had pocketed or bagged something, and was this image obtained from a store security camera after the fact, or did someone take it with their phone?

At the end of the day when doing inventory, a bag was missing. They reviewed the cameras and saw the theft. I screenshot the images of her from the video.Imran ***************
@Garrett **********
Do you work for the store? What reason did the store have to hand over this footage to you, a civilian, unless you are a security guard? I'm genuinely curious.Mac *********

Report to the police and then bring the police report to check for further CCTV at the mall or complex, you may find further lead.

I wouldn't report it to the police. The repercussions (possible deportation etc) will far outweigh the trouble that the crime caused.
I used to work in a shop and old ladies would steel for the thrill because they said there was no excitement in their lives.
I would just have a word with her and talk to her like a human being, if you see her again.

I would like to know if this was a one off (doubt it) or if she’s a career criminal. If it’s the latter, all bets are off. I remind you that in other countries not far from Thailand people lose a hand for stealing.Jay ******
@Imran **************
report her to police clearly doesn’t care multiple stores probably other places tooJoe ********
@Imran **************
but she's not an old lady doing it out of boredom or necessity, if she can afford to go to Thailand for a holiday then she can afford to buy gifts, they're so cheap there's no need to steal, stop making excuses for her.Imran ***************
@Joe *******
my point is that we don't know why she's stealing. So, I think it would be a good idea for the shop owner to just have a chat with her to see what's up, before calling the police to put her in prison, extort her and then deport her.

@Jennifer *******
the story is fake. That woman is his ex girlfriend who ran away and left him due to DV; he’s obviously looking for her. What man posts two photos of a woman online like thisImran ***************
@Christopher *******
if that's true, which is the kind of thing that happens sometimes, then well done for doing your due diligence. 👏 It's sad to see the lack of empathy in the group.

@Imran **************
unfortunately, there’s no such thing as empathy on facebook. just not humanly possible for most people. they’re too oppressed or regulated by authorities in their own lives to speak kindly of someone they feel is skirting punishment 😔Imran ***************
@Jean-Maurice *******
it's beginning to look that way, brother. It seems people don't want to think about their own entitlement. I've been a security guard in the past, too. Most people who have weapons are just scared, most ppl who steal are looking for excitement or are just hungry (not in this case) but they're all just people. They just need a chat.Reply to

yeah, mate. Especially right now, winter's coming and ppl in the uk are having to choose between food and heating. So much shoplifting & homelessness. They're still good, kind-hearted ppl. It seems like a lot of ppl on fb just don'twant to understand. Makes me sad.

it will not I spent 24 years in Singapore and respect law and hard working people who own shops. Never in decades had a minor infraction. It’s shame that people like you are willing to steal from hard working peopleChristopher ********
@Jo *********
where are you from Jo what country 😂 ? Read your silly reply to me over and over again… at your age you should know better by nowChristopher ********
@Jo *********
it’s a shame you cannot mentally comprehend that there could be multiple scenarios going on here with this woman, yet you wish her to be put in prison and deported. Firstly do you know the male posting this photo of the woman and asking if people know her ? It’s narrow minded people like you that are the problem. And someone stealing small items from a shop for whatever reason be it mentally unwell or whatever their reasoning doesn’t come close to your statement on your wishes towards them. So seems you are the sick one
Jo **********
@Christopher *******
you obviously come from a culture where it’s ok to commit crimes. In Singapore where we have minimal crime there are serious punishments for stealing, and if you deal with drugs it’s the death sentence. creates a safe society. but you claim she is mentally ill?Christopher ********
@Jo *********
every culture commits crimes Jo wake up blah blah blah Mr Singapore 24 years ! And we all know how many innocent people suffer in Singapore sue to its laws ! But hey Jo all good hey one innocent life lost out of ten found guilty is ok 👍Christopher ********
@Jo *********
I never said I agreed with crime but I’m aware that individuals commit crime and I’m aware that all individuals are different and don’t need to be judged by your narrow minded outlook. Firstly you do not know if this story is true.
Secondly you do not know anything about the poster posting two photos of a female backpacker and asking who knows her and claiming she stole.
And I can go on and pin point much more ! You be a rubbish judge and jury

@Christopher *******
I know Garrett through this page for years he is credible. And your petty little personal insults are a bit muchChristopher ********

good old Jo doesn’t mind a male posting two photos of an innocent woman online and attaching a fictional story line to it !!! I did a search Jo and it looks like this woman is his ex girlfriend 🤣 they look similar !!! Your generation is letting things slip on the old cyber crime these days Jo !!! Maybe I’ll start posting photos of you Jo for fictional crimesChristopher ********

I was just a student at the time. They weren't my shops. I eventually got beaten up for trying to stop guys from stealing liquor. I felt that stealing an expensive item like liquor by force was unacceptable but I let a few sweets and things slide when the old ladies would come in and chat to me. I probably wasn't the best employee, lol.

great advice . But these days people only take the advice and do something worse than that . Deportation would be an eye opener .Imran ***************
@Adeel *************
It would, but things are tough in the west, financially. I've seen so many people I know become homeless over the last 2 years. If she really is stealing, which might not be the case, it's small fries. She hasn't tried to kill anyone etc. Maybe she has mental health issues, maybe she's just bored. It's big crimes like ministers taking huge bribes that should be punished severely, I think.Reply to
