limbo Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 THE Defence Department is investigating the theft of a departmental notebook computer from the hotel room of an Australian naval officer attending a defence seminar in Bangkok. Lieutenant Commander Peter de Maskens, a signals specialist, was attending a week-long seminar, starting on July 4 and overseen by the Thai armed forces, on regional security issues. Intelligence sources said there are concerns other foreign intelligence services, in particular China and Burma, may have attempted to track down the stolen computer. A Thai police report said Lieutenant Commander de Maskens had left his five-star Banyan Tree Hotel at 2am, travelling to the red-light district of Nana Plaza in Sukhumvit Road. He returned to the hotel accompanied by a Thai person just before 3am. The report said the officer appeared drunk and disoriented when he arrived, awakening at 7am to find his notebook computer, a mobile telephone, an iPod, his passport and credit cards missing. The Defence Department has played down the theft, saying the laptop contained only the lowest classification and was fitted with appropriate security software to deny access to any information on the computer.

Bangkoktraveler Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 He got laid and screwed. Why did he have a classified computer unsecured in his room? And for god's sake, why did he bring back to his room a Thai person? No ID left at the front desk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Why publicize it - any thief wouldn't worry but now they are looking for someone to buy a expensive stolen lap top I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faustian Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yes, I think our defense boy got a ladyboy...idiot. Hmmm, Banyan tree. No ID check I'd imagine, too high class, but bound to be security cameras, unless of course they weren't switched on. Lots of witnesses too.

Guess some of the higher ups are going to a have few words with him. Did the ladyboy have his original hardware or did he put it in a formaldyhde jar? Should be interesting to find out who was in the compromising position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
