Thailand Post admitted yesterday that a worker used to transport their mail stole a parcel containing a THB150,000 (US$4,600) diamond bracelet.

Thailand Post, the organization known for folding, breaking, throwing and totally losing mail, filed a police complaint against the bracelet thief yesterday, who they say is a worker for a private company they use to transport mail. However, that person has not been identified, Workpoint reported.

It all started when Kornwiwat Sotethipankul, a 26-year-old jewelry designer and business owner, sought help from the police on Wednesday after the bracelet he sent to a client in Chantaburi was lost in the mail.

Kornwiwat sent the parcel on Dec. 4 from Chiang Mai and paid an extra THB815 (US$25) for insurance, but his client never received the parcel.

Contacting Thailand Post, Kornwiwat said the organization lost his parcel and told him he’d receive a THB50,000 compensation because he bought insurance, so he decided to file a police complaint for justice.

The gold bracelet has 2.9 carats of diamonds and 5.94 carats of sapphires. The investigation is ongoing.
