for sure it was police

the smart phone was stolen earlier and is planted to stuff the inquiries...just a thought, and a good line, get out, if it is an inside job.

Early one morning I witnessed a couple of bank staff re-filling an ATM. They were accompanied by a guy, well dressed but not in a uniform, who had a side-arm on full display. He was like a professional sheriff: Posture, composure, attitude, he oozed confidence and professionalism. Only an idiot would have tried to rob those bank staff.
Makes me wonder where was the security for this ATM service?

Is this the cctv footage???

the employees looked like your average dumbfuck somchais, one was on his phone and the other was lounging around. neither of them paying any attention to their surroundings whilst the third guy rummaged in the bag and pulled out a wad to feed into the atm.

they were as unprofessional as the the thief was professional.

That's a shame, because now they won't be able to ring him to ask him where their share is.

Hey!

Pulled off too easy, could that bank be self-insured? They could declare any amount looking for a possible very large tax break.

Brilliant, can't Thais even leave those God dammed things at home when pulling a robbery? He must have shit his pants knowing he was as good as caught when he realized the thing was missing. I was wondering how a cop could get caught so easily.
