Tourist Police in Korat Secure Unattended Motorcycle Keys

According to a report by Matichon Online on September 22, 2026, tourist police officers in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) took proactive measures to protect public property. While patrolling, officers noticed several motorcycles parked with keys left in the ignitions, a common oversight that could easily lead to vehicle theft.

To prevent potential loss, the officers removed the keys for safekeeping. They left behind contact information on the vehicles, allowing the owners to retrieve their keys once they returned. This action highlights the ongoing efforts by local authorities to maintain safety and security for both residents and visitors in the region.

For travelers and residents, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of vehicle security. While the police intervention was helpful in this instance, it is essential to remain vigilant and ensure that all personal belongings and vehicles are properly secured when parked in public areas. It remains to be confirmed if this is part of a broader, ongoing campaign by the Korat tourist police to address petty crime or if it was an isolated patrol initiative. Visitors are encouraged to double-check their ignitions and storage compartments before walking away from their rented or personal motorbikes.
