Chanok Suwan was arrested for stealing a motorcycle.

Payuk Kaewphumhae didn’t have much trouble finding who stole his motorbike. The alleged thief was washing it just a few blocks away.

The 35-year-old Sattahip man called police for help after he and neighbors detained a very drunk Chanok Suwan, 45, outside his home on Soi Dhammawittaya Aug. 21.

Payuk said he’d left his blue Yamaha Leo unlocked outside his house on Soi Bonkai for a few minutes, then came outside to find it gone.

The victim jumped on another bike and drove around the neighborhood and saw Chanok washing the Yamaha in front of his house. He got some neighbors and held down the suspect while calling police.
