Invaders leave stinky calling card

NAKHON NAYOK: Prachum Vichathong and his wife, Thongbai, suffered more than the loss of belongings when home invaders struck on the night of May 16. Prachum told police that the gangsters used a drill to let themselves in through the back door. They then cut the phone line, grabbed Prachum and Thongbai, tied them up and beat them to force them to reveal where their valuables were hidden. The invaders took two TV sets, a computer, gold worth about 44,000 baht and some cash. They then drove away in the couple’s pick-up truck. The couple discovered the final insult when they managed to free themselves: a pile of excrement in front of the house.
