'Concealment Spell' Fails to Prevent Thai TempleThief from Being Caught

A sticky-fingered ne'er-do-well in Thailand was busted for stealing from a temple with the belief that a 'concealment spell' would prevent him from being caught. According to a local media report, the strange heist occurred on May 30th when someone entered the grounds of Bangkok's Wat Pho temple, smashed two donation boxes, and made off with the money inside. Police investigating the overnight theft identified the suspect via CCTV footage and promptly arrested the culprit, a man identified as Ratchathan, last Thursday. While being questioned by the cops, he offered a rather astonishing explanation for why he thought he could pull off the brazen crime.
