Man Robbed While Fishing Leaves Police Station in Underwear
A 61-year-old fisherman was robbed of his motorcycle and clothes while wading at Mab Prachan Reservoir in Chon Buri, forcing him to walk to police in underwear to file a theft report.
At 09:39 on July 27, 2569, a reporter near Nong Prue Police Station in Bang La Mung district, Chon Buri, spotted a distressed man wearing only black underwear and holding a blue helmet as he walked to file a theft report. The man, identified as Anon (surname withheld) or "Uncle Watthan," 61, explained that he had ridden his white and blue Honda Wave motorcycle to the Mab Prachan Reservoir to fish. After parking the bike by the water's edge, he removed his clothes, placed the key in his pants pocket, and waded in to set his traps.
When he returned to shore, both his motorcycle and clothes had disappeared, leaving only his helmet and sandals. He was forced to walk out wearing nothing but his underwear to seek help. Watthan recalled that before entering the water, he had noticed a man and woman sitting near his motorcycle but thought nothing of it. When he emerged, both the couple and his vehicle were gone.
Watthan appealed to the thieves to return the motorcycle, lamenting that he had only recently completed the payments on it and had gained nothing from the outing—not even fish. Municipal officials from Pong Subdistrict, who initially suspected he might be a person with mental health issues, assisted him in filing an official complaint with Nong Prue Police Station. Officers are now gathering evidence and reviewing CCTV footage from the area to identify and prosecute the perpetrators.
