Retired French cop vows to catch banana thief

A retired French cop says he will file a police report against a thief who has been picking his ripened bananas before he got to eat them.

Gorra Robert, a 68-year-old Frenchman who migrated to Chonburi and obviously loves eating bananas, said yesterday he has had it with his favourite fruit being stolen. He has vowed to install security cameras in his backyard where he has planted 10 banana trees.

After running some errands recently, Gorra says he was just about to savour the golden phallic fruit of his desire when he realised all the ripened ones had been stolen for the fourth time.

The thief had been taking only the edible hands, leaving the green bunches on the trees. None of Gorra’s other possessions have been stolen.

The former policeman added he would have been happy to share some bananas if the thief had asked him nicely, but that now he just wants to catch the culprit and have him prosecuted, Thairath reports.
