An audacious, well conceived and well executed crime providing a story of a different class than most of what Phuketwan doing its job as well as it does daily provides. But it is a crime and may the authorities get the audacious, clever perpetrator. And best to the poor guy receptionist relaxing in the quiet hours with some chicken and a beer.

Quite clearly it's the Hollywood actor Owen Wilson. His career must really have gone downhill lately if he's been reduced to this.

Hmm.. The value is 3,1 miljon THB in 21 boxes. That is an average value of 147619 THB/box. Sounds very much in my ears. Is that really correct?

Yes Soligen, Well done on the arithmetic ,But its actually not such a high value per box .
A good camera = 12,000 thb
Spending money for family = 90,000 thb at least
Jewellery = could anything but at least 20,000 thb .

So as you can see it adds up very quickly and if you add in the cost of passport replacement then that value is easily reached.

Looks like a special forces type, if the graphic is accurate.

Knowing Owen Wilson, I know he would never ever have his famous nose straightened. Broken twice, it is his trade mark. No the picture is not Owen nor Luke Wilson.
