A Thai court on Tuesday (Jun 6) sentenced a Canadian man to 14 months in jail for crimes linked to a rare bank robbery in Singapore where he allegedly used nothing more than a threatening note to steal US$22,000.

According to authorities in Singapore, a city-state with one of the world's lowest crime rates, David Roach strolled into a Standard Chartered bank branch last July, handed the teller a scrap of paper and walked off with the cash.

The 28-year-old then fled to Bangkok where he was arrested a few days later in a hostel.

On Tuesday, a Thai criminal court convicted Roach of violating money laundering and customs laws for smuggling the money into the country.

He just gave them a withdrawal form.

I know of one in particular the Thai coppers would like to get their hands on.

Nope....no extradition treaty so he will be hopping on a plane back to his country of origin.

Well, at least he was fairly humane with that. I mean, imagine threatening someone with "I'll have Marvin discuss this with you"

"Marvin: That ship hated me.

Ford: Ship? What happened to it? Do you know?

Marvin: It hated me because I talked to it.

Ford: You talked to it? What do you mean you talked to it?

Marvin: Simple. I got very bored and depressed, so I went and plugged myself into its external computer feed. I talked to the computer at great length and explained my view of the universe to it.

Ford: And what happened?

Marvin: It committed suicide."

May be the Rozzers can arrange a Thai airways stop over at Changi on the way to Canada and tell the Sing rozzers
