Oh look, a nice young "white" couple. What wrong could they do? Thieving is what they did.

I do hope they are caught and   severely punished. These are the people that make life difficult for the rest of us. Opportunistic thieves. May they  suffer for this.

People forget there are security cameras and cctv everywhere nowadays. Think before you do something you should not be doing.

They can be easily tracked to where they stay through cctv and by motorcyle plates. Where they stole it from is by the Mae Ping river post office and just next to it is the traffic police station. My guess is that they got caught for no helmets at a check point, went to the police station and paid the fine, left the police station after paying a whopping 500 baht each, saw the helmuts and stole them. The police staion is literally next to just before the post office. Stupid as they were probably thinking that the one wya road leads back to exactly to the police check point at the corner. Trun left, get stopped. Trun right get stopped. But what they didn't understand is that the ticket is a free pass for them for the rest of the day as all they have to do is show it and they get let go having no more tickets issued. 

Now they are going to pay 5000 - 10,000 baht fine.
