150 phones at, lets say conservatively, an average of $250, so that's $37500 plus $30,000 cash = quite a nice score.
With that kind of value on site you'd think they would have an alarm system or maybe a security guard there at night. Or at least a decent safe for the cash.
Can you buy insurance for this kind of risk here? If so, maybe they have discovered insurance fraud. $30k in cash is a bit suspicious in itself...
I notice the burglar isn't wearing gloves. Hasn't he heard of fingerprints?

I love it when Brody forgets to read the original posting date!
Anyway, I had only been in the country just over one year and thought that this was a normal country. I am now a fully paid up member of the cynical expat club.

Ha, you got me. I rarely assume that someone bumps a 2 year old thread with some nothing comment. I wonder why Matty9999 does this?

I figured you missed the date, and it's not often you give someone such an open goal, and I couldn't resist
As for why Matty9999 does it, I'm baffled too. How many pages do you have to go back to find a April 2019 news post???

Usually zero, they come up in the Similar Topics section at the bottom of each thread.
