A not too bright 18 year old Pattaya girl and her also brain cell deprived 19 year old boyfriend were looking to make a few bob to buy some drugs as many young men and women are akin to do here in Pattaya. So the girl pinched a gun off her father - where to sell it? -well Facebook of course.
Pattaya Police officers also have Facebook accounts in fact I have no doubt that some lucky officers are paid to surf the net rather than surf the miscreants on Beach Road. Officers interests were sparked recently with a novel for dale item after all a Glock 9mm at a bargain price is not to be ignored.
A meet was arranged and at the appropriate time the pair turned up at the junction of Khao Talo and Soi Khao Noi in East Pattaya to say hello to their new Facebook Friend.
As they drew up the pair sensed that their browsing days may well be over and tried to make a getaway on their Honda Spacey. But the spaced out pair were about to be unfriended as The waiting police officers were just as good at riding motorcycles as they were at surfing the Internet. The Love struck, drug starved mugs were soon in custody and the 9mm Glock found hidden under the seat along with a holster and 6 rounds of ammunition - a complete package for sale from a couple of complete fools.
As officers discussed the days events with the couple the girl confessed to trying to sell the gun which she had half inched from her father.
Her father a Village Chief from Kanchanaburi Province who formally served as a Democratic Party Member of Parliament will no doubt be pleased to have his gun returned and equally pleased that his long lost daughter Khun Sunisar and her boyfriend, Khun Jackapan are alive and well and currently living in a comfortable lodgings in the beautiful city of Pattaya called jail cells.
