Thief in Thailand steals fuel from motorcycle by siphoning directly from tank<\/h2>\n

The high pump prices in Thailand have pushed one thief to siphon fuel from a villager’s motorcycle, leaving an empty tank while the vehicle itself was untouched.<\/p>\n

According to Siam Rath, the incident occurred in Udon Thani province on 29 March, and security footage captured the thief in action.<\/p>\n

Police are currently on the lookout for the suspect.<\/p>\n

After calling out to check if anyone was nearby, he glanced around and returned to the motorcycle once satisfied that no one was in sight.<\/p>\n

He then lifted the motorcycle seat and began siphoning the fuel into a bottle, using it to refuel his own motorcycle.<\/p>\n

This process was repeated multiple times until the thief had stolen all the fuel.<\/p>\n

With the theft complete, the man then drove off.<\/p>\n

The villager expressed frustration over the theft and said that if the police were unable to catch the thief, he might attempt to track the culprit down himself.<\/p>\n

He also urged local authorities to be more vigilant, especially as the rising fuel prices in Thailand have led to increased desperation among people.<\/p>\n

According to the Bangkok Post, pump prices in Thailand recently reached an all-time high, further adding to the strain.<\/p>\n
