Another Inside Job?

[Jesus Jones]

So we’ve been robbed! But I can’t help but think, “I told you so!”

To cut a long story short, the wife, daughter and I have been living in between Khlong Sam Wa, where we purchased recently, and Bang Kea which my wife owned before we met and where her parents stay.

For the last six months – with planning for an extension, I have tried to get my wife to encourage our elderly parents to live with us, as the three days a week travelling back and forth is playing havoc on our relationship. As it stands, I am more or less a full-time dad who chose to get my daughter out of the chaos, and to an International school that doesn’t involve my little one spending her early years in a car. Her school and my workplace are 4 and 8km away from home, so it’s ideal.

The parents refused because of relations and friends that live in the same neighbourhood, despite the father’s health diminishing and needing full-time care (we’ve had a nanny/career for four years). I’ve commented to my wife about waiting for an accident to happen before they see sense. Well, three weeks ago he fell and broke his knee and is now bedridden! So now we are rushing around to get an extension built that could have averted the present situation in done earlier.
During this period, within the last six months, we had an issue with our nanny. The FLs gold ring had gone missing from the place it was kept. In an attempt to find it, my wife turned everything upside in the parent's bedroom. I, admittedly, jumped to a conclusion following comments I made sometime prior about the nanny getting too comfortable and not to let her take advantage of our being away four days of the week.

During a family conversation, we brought the missing ring up with the nanny being in the same room. Two days later the ring reappeared on top of a small, old portable radio that was in the cupboard that the wife had emptied. So if it were on the radio, it would have fallen to the ground during her search.
Two weeks following, we heard neighbours and aunts gossiping about the nanny asking family members and some neighbours for a loan of cash. The alarm bells rang for me! I asked my wife to get rid, as she was far too close to her, and put too much trust in her. My wife gave her the benefit of the doubt, but I emphasised that she is not welcome to the home in Khlong Sam Wa.

Yesterday, we received a call from a relative that our mother could not find the key to her locked dresser, which she keeps in our bedroom. She noticed the key was missing last week, but only informed us via an aunt yesterday. In the meantime, the uncle has come to the house to force the locked cabinet door open, and all her valuable belongings including gold rings and bars, 40k in cash along with other items such as rubies, have gone. The only thing left was a gold locket with an image of my wife’s 105-year-old GM that passed recently!

So this morning, the wife went to the house to check on other items of value that she has in that room. On checking her bags in the cupboard, a classic Rolex, and some other expensive watch (Patak something) I’m not a watch person, along with some gold rings have gone, but not the ring boxes. I guess the thief had a lot of time on their hands! Interestingly, all the bags, and clothes that were folded on top of the bags have been neatly put back in place. Additionally, there is no sign of a break-in to the house. The house is occupied 24hrs a day.

Why do Thais wait for the wheels to fall off before action? I warned my wife to bring all valuables to the new house!

Very sad news.

The burning question is...what are you going to do?

"Another Inside Job?"

Without doubt, yes.

Take the maid out for a buffet meal so she doesn't feel bad or lose face.


Wasn't your stuff. You warned them. They refused to to listen to the farang. Sit back with a drink and forget it, safe in the knowledge that they will never listen to you and you will always be right.

Had a house we lived in burgled way back.
The person who did it replaced all clothing that must have been disturbed neatly folded just as it had looked before.
Guess s/he did so in the hope that the loss wouldn't be noticed, possibly for months.

Where is the maid now?

The gold shop.

Maid in the shade...

Maid in the shade...

There's definitely the script for the opening scene of a Rocco Siffredi flick in the OP.

[VocalNeal]

I sadly learned in Indonesia that they wait until there is any confusion or disruption and then...

Even small stuff. Have a nice fountain pen and always on the desk on the right-hand side. OK. Put it on the left hand side and...

When asked they will say things like "Are you sure you put it on the right-hand side?" Which of course you are not and...

My thoughts too.

Just had news. Our maid admitted to it. Police are at the home now.

[Jesus Jones]

That preejaculated fast!

[Luigi]

^ scene two coming up.


Good to have a happy ending. Though they still won't say that they should have listened to you.

Keep us updated on the case as it progresses. Will be an interesting insight. Cheers.

The maid was still there working!

She is either retarded or...well...retarded. There is no scenario that plays through my head where you will not get caught stealing that amount of stuff.

Any chance of her background story? Where you found her/age/how long you known her/reason for stealing.

The reason I'm so interested is because I too have a fulltime, live in helper and trust her 100% (famous last words).

The gold shop.

Silly fuckin' cow! As in the maid.

She has returned my wife's belongings. But the gold, she sold to the frickin' gold shop on our soi! She's even got a reciept for it as well!!

We found her via an agency. After 5 months we offered to employ her directly as she was only earning 11k a month after the agency took 5. After being satisfied, as she was very good, we paid her near 30k. She has been with us nearly 5 years.

I warned my wife of the sob stories that will follow. Debt, family etc. We paid her well, even her father's funeral. She was seen as a family member and I our daughter was extremely close to her. I really hope the wife is not going to be soft on her this time.

I agree, she is daft. I guess she just thought it would go unnoticed if things weren't moved.

Press charges, oppose any bail and show no mercy whatsoever to the thieving chickenhead bitch who abused your trust and her position.

[Luigi]

Unfortunately you made *cough* the mistake of being nice, kind and decent with them.


This signals to the lowly Thai that you are weak and stupid. Unwarranted kindest = stupidity to them.

Give an inch they take a mile. They're masters at it.

The inch and mile I pre-warned. I expressed my feelings and distrust towards her 6 months ago when she was asking for cash from family members and wanted her out.

This is a Thai feckup.

[rickschoppers]

Report it to the police and have her ass thrown in jail.

[Jesus Jones]

She is in the station now. But I have a feeling my wife will let her go if she recovers all. I will be frickin' furious.

Apparently 10 rozzers showed up!

[rickschoppers]

If she is let off, she will just do it again. Time for some tough love.

Best check your valuables again then.

[crackerjack101]

If you get the stuff back don't press charges but sack her. Just my 2 cents.

[rickschoppers]

So just enable her to do it again is your 2 cents worth?
