I know we have worthless ass frigging thieves who steal manhole covers, a/c units and strip wire from empty houses for scrap, but this is crossing the line!

I get a copy of a Thai newspaper every day and here's an article in today's paper about a train derailment. Luckily it was one of their slower passenger trains and there were no major injuries, but it could have been worse.

Ok, upon inspection, it seems the retaining plates which attach the rails to the ties were missing from a stretch of track.

After a short police investigation, the missing pieces were located at a local recycling yard. The cops are now trying to find the perps who sold the "scrap" to the dealer.
