A man claims to have captured the moment two young pickpockets slipped his girlfriend's watch from her wrist as she posed for a photograph with them at a Thai temple.
The man posted an image to Reddit of the two young girls wearing brightly coloured traditional Thai costumes holding his
girlfriend's arm earlier this month outside Wat Phra That Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai, a province in Thailand's north, on Sunday night.
The woman, who has not been named, smiled as one of the girls appeared to unclasp her wrist watch while her partner captured a photograph, with the travelling couple only noticing once they reviewed their holiday snapshots.
"This pic solved the mystery of the missing watch," he wrote, conceding the pair had a bit to drink before going to the temple.
Thousands of people commented on the thread, with some Reddit users sharing their own pictures of the two girls from their own trips.
