[FONT="]“Pennapan, waiting in the pick-up, told us that she would receive 2,000 baht for using her new pick-up truck to carry this cable. She says she did not realise that they were stealing the cabling. She needed money to take her child for holidays. She said it was her first time.”[/FONT]
[FONT="]“Chartchat told us that he is a rubber tapper. The rubber price has decreased causing hardship for his family. He doesn’t have enough money for his living. He was going to take the copper inside the cabling to sell for 140 baht per kilogram. This time, if he wasn’t caught, he would have got at least 5,000 baht for selling the copper. ”[/FONT]

wenn die Geschäfte schlechter gehen, und man ums Überleben kämpfen muss,
drängen die Massen sich um einen Job in der Kriminalität.
"keinen anderen Weg, zum gehen"
es geht um die Kosten, den Kindern den Urlaub zu finanzieren, oder den gefallenen Gummipreisen,
im Grunde will man auch keine Kabel stehlen,
aber man muss es halt tun.
wenn Kanaldeckel gestohlen werden, oder Elektrokabel, oder, wie hier Fiberkabel,
es muss Geld gesammelt werden,
das ist die heutige Zeit der geschlossenen Garküchen, den verbotenen Strandgeschäfte, den vertriebenen Touristen,
jetzt hat man keine Reserven mehr,
... wo gehobelt wird, fällt Späne.
