Tesco Toilet Thief

If you thought that we had some strange thefts in America, you should've been in Thailand this past week.

Clothes, belts, wallets, lipsticks and handbags were found in the room of Sombun Sawasdeelapa, 50, a week after he snatched a pair of trousers from a man who was using a public toilet.

"Mr Somsak said he was in the habit of removing his trousers and hanging them on the back of the door when using a toilet. He followed the routine that day and lost his wallet, mobile phone and belt in addition to the trousers."

Police found a number of other second hand clothes and other items as a part of Sombuns business. Sombun said he was a second-hand goods dealer and bought the clothes and accessories as part of his business.

Not quite breaking news to make a difference but to think that someone would stoop this low to steal clothes from people while using the bathroom is a little quite concerning. Economy might be low, but not that low.
