NAKHON RATCHASIMA — A Thai influencer has reported a mysterious theft of a 250-kilogram safe from her condominium unit in Nakhon Ratchasima, raising questions about building security despite keycard access and CCTV coverage. The influencer, known as “Mod Oi,” said in a Facebook post on 16 March that the large safe — measuring 128cm high and weighing about 250kg — was removed from her room without explanation. She said the safe contained gold bars totalling 35 baht weight, along with other valuables including amulets and jewellery, with total losses estimated at more than 3 million baht. Mod Oi questioned how the suspect managed to move such a heavy object out of a building with more than 800 units, keycard-controlled floors and multiple surveillance cameras. She also raised concerns over how the perpetrator knew about the safe and the timing of her absence. She said the incident left her feeling unsafe, adding that the issue affects not only her but other residents in the condominium. Police in Nakhon Ratchasima said officers have inspected the scene and are reviewing CCTV footage. Investigators are working to identify suspects after examining evidence and questioning several witnesses. Authorities said the case is being treated as theft and that further forensic results are pending as the investigation continues.
