NAKHON RATCHASIMA — 14 June 2026, A social media user has warned motorists after thieves allegedly removed all four wheels from a van left parked overnight near Lam Takhong Dam in Sikhiu district.
According to a Facebook post describing the incident, the vehicle owner said he drove a white Toyota Commuter van to the Lam Takhong Dam area in Khlong Phai subdistrict with his family at around 22:00 the previous night.
The family had travelled to fish near the reservoir alongside Mittraphap Road. The van was parked on the upper embankment because it could not be driven down to the lower area near the water.
The owner and his family then spent the night fishing below the dam. When they returned to the parking spot at around 10:00 the following morning, they discovered that all four wheels had been removed from the vehicle.
The theft caused significant damage and left the van immobilised.
The owner said he had not expected such an incident to occur in the area. Following the discovery, he filed a complaint with investigators at Khlong Phai Police Station and asked authorities to track down those responsible.
He also urged police to accelerate their investigation and warned members of the public to exercise caution when parking vehicles in isolated areas.
The victim advised motorists visiting remote locations for recreational activities to regularly check their vehicles and take additional security precautions to avoid becoming targets of theft.
