PHUKET: Resort managers should be wary of job seekers on Phuket after the arrest last night of a man who admitted to stealing from at least 10 island resorts.
''He would apply for any job that was going,'' the Superintendent of Kathu Police Station, Colonel Jirapat Palchanaphan, said today after the arrest of Theerawat ''Lek'' Yodying, 29, from Trang.
''Once he had the chance to look over a resort, he would steal from rooms, specialising in mobile telephones and iPads.''
Khun Lek was nabbed by police about 8pm last night as he partied with a woman at a club in the Phuket City region, Colonel Jirapat said.
Later he confessed and explained his technique, adding that mobile telephones and iPad were easily converted into cash.
Khun Lek spent the money on his family and nights out and is not expected to be looking for a job for a little while.

But of course. Who cares if what they are buying so cheaply is stolen property?
Not the majority of tech shops in Phuket, that's for sure. They live off stolen goods.
