Buddhist Temple Donation Boxes Stolen in Chonburi

A sorry tale of two serial thieves who have brought upon themselves some seriously bad luck for the rest of their lives. Phan Thong police went along to Nong Ka Kha Temple, in Moo 4 Tambon Nong Ka Kha, Amphur Phan Thong, Chonburi province after reports that the temple's donation box had been stolen.

Officers inspected the CCTV cameras in the temple - yes they got CCTV cameras everywhere now and found images that showed at 2-15 am two individuals parking their bikes near the pavillion and then removing the donation box believed to contain about 10,000 Baht and making off in the darkness.

A little later the same night the police received a report from the abbot of Pong Ta Mook Temple, Moo 1 Tambon Nong Hong, Amphur Phan Thong, Chonburi province about 10km from the frst crime scene. It appears again from the CCTV images that the bad Buddhist bandits had struck again and stole another donation box. Their bad luck is catching up with them as will the police will catch up with them very soon especially with the clear CCTV images and also the fact that The Abbot had just cleared out the contents of the donation box so their second crime netted them about 80 Baht.
