Thief tries to steal gold chain only to find the store door locked

CCTV captured the moment Suphachai Panthong, 27, walked into the store in Choburi, Thailand, on November 30 and asked to try on a gold necklace worth £500. The thief put the chain round his neck and spent a few moments pretending to admire it before suddenly turning on his heels and sprinting towards the exit. But the hapless crook's escape was foiled after the owner Jarae Nitikarun, 41, had locked the door when he became suspicious.

Dude behind the counter was so unbothered. He knew dude wasn't going far with that chain 😂😂😂😂

[@014daddy]

Plot twist: The door was never locked. You had to push it not pull it

[@someguy3169]

The awkward tension between the store owner and thief after he failed is immense

[@torib9075]

He took off running an came back like I was just playing 😂😂😂🤣💀

[@raf5668]

The salesman was so chill even when he ran lol

[@MyChilepepper]

The salesman bent down to lock the door as soon as the thief came in. Hahaha

[@Kostyakremlin]

The embarrassment when he found out the door was locked 💀

[@LuisCasstle]

Thief: Bet no one has tried that!

[@deenad3562]

How far did he think he would get in those lousy flipflops anyway?

[@ronl9357]

The only crime here was wearing flip flops to a jewelry store.

The jeweller learned the lesson from previous experiences 😂😂

"I really needed to pee all of a sudden so I tried to leave immediately, not realizing I still had the gold chain on me."

[@duckking09]

All these people assuming he locked the door assuming he's a thief when in reality he probably locks it every time there's a customef

[@ag1373]

He should have said its a prank showing their cctv camera up there😂

[@shraddhapawar]

When you want to be a thief but it's your first day -

[@DP-fd4id]

Nothing is lost, but the attempt and his mind has made him go to jail.

[@you3ee]

Wait...what? He wore slippers to go rob a store? Lol

[@burakbulut8835]

Seller: YOU JUST ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!

[@haninabritanico9912]

I feel like this guy was just taking a stroll and he was like, "Hmmm, a jewelry store, what if I steal a necklace? Hmmm."

[@proudconservative2158]

That’s gotta be one of the most awkward escape attempts ever just him running away was weird lol
