That’s my bike and that’s
the puke who stole it, says 40-year-old Samreng Ngernthim.

Sattahip police had to rescue a 15-year-old suspected
motorbike thief from a mob that corralled the boy, alleging he also had
robbed a local cemetery of donation money.
Police pulled the underage suspect from the crowd at
Sattahip’s Baan Tao Thaan intersection March 3. Residents were screaming
and cursing at the boy, with some physically assaulting him.
Locals allege the teen stole the Honda Wave he was
riding from 40-year-old Samreng Ngernthim on Valentine’s Day and was
later seen riding the same bike around the Thongthip Market. They claim
the boy also stole donations made at the Wat Payup cemetery last
October.
Police said the suspect confessed to stealing the
motorbike with a 16-year-old friend to give to his girlfriend as a
Valentine’s Day present.
