Also, you have the bonus of a faithful travelling partner and a fanny magnet

Wow, unbelievable. Thanks for the update. It looks like it was no coincidence that you were victimized repeatedly.Max wrote: I have recently heard from Tony of “Tony’s Big Bikes” here in Chiang Mai that he had 5 bikes stolen by an x-employee, along with 3 months of utility bill payments for two shops, and all of the deposits on hand from rentals. She also deleted all data on the computer before skipping out. Also she would have got an unknown amount from rentals which she did not document.
Her name is:
Mrs.Chidapha Chantawaree,
born 2 Aug 1974,
Thai ID number 3-1020-01258-22-8
She had access to all the keys and had manipulated paperwork, all in Thai, to have transfer papers in her name. Police could do nothing about the bikes. A second, and possible third individual would steal the bikes, one occurring in front of the Bier Stube in the middle of the afternoon. When she left, she had access to all of the green books which were missing when she didn’t return from her day off. Estimated take, known, approx 250,000 Baht
All of this can be confirmed with Tony or Jeff.
She also had access to my keys on both bikes, as I had left them when work was being preformed, plus she had my address.
She has now been gone about a month. Bikes began disappearing about three months ago from Tony's.
She speaks good English, and is from the Bangkok area. She almost certainly will be looking for a similar situation, working for a foreigner.
Keep a look out.
Max, thanks for the post but there are a few things I would like to put right so as me and Tony don't look completely stupid (though we were because being Farang, we possess that unsusal characteristic called "trust" ;-) )Max wrote: I have recently heard from Tony of “Tony’s Big Bikes” here in Chiang Mai that he had 5 bikes stolen by an x-employee, along with 3 months of utility bill payments for two shops, and all of the deposits on hand from rentals.
