Hi Fellow Travelers,
Please beware and do not use the Left Luggage at MoChit Northeasterni Bus Terminal in Bangkok. This Left Luggage business is located on the first floor, to the right of the main entrance, just past a 7 Eleven Store. I left my luggage there for only a few hours and had my Powerbank stolen. Unfortunately, I did not notice it was missing until the shop had already closed. It is so annoying when you trust a business and they take your stuff. I told myself I would post it in every available forum as a heads up.

And the police if you're lucky will give you a reported stolen report then send you on your way.

If you have insurance, you'll need a police report.
If you realise you left it somewhere else, you'll need to post a correction.
If Anglesey has "lost" items here, now is your chance to say so.

Okay if the excess on an insurance policy is fairly low. I can buy one cheaper than the excess on the policy I usually use in NZ.

Depending on quality, you're probably only talking US$10 - 30, so not that much. Annoying nonetheless.
I'd be interested to hear more details, seems strange this was all that was taken. Also, this is just the sort of item that often gets left (still plugged in and charging) in hotel rooms.

Seemed the most popular item in any sort of shop or stall selling electronics and not really sellable for a small fortune.

For the record, I would have never posted that my powerbank was stolen if I did not know for a fact that it was stolen. What are the details? I walked up, dropped off my backpack with the powerbank in one of the side pockets. When I retrieved my bag several hours later, i discovered it was gone. I did not use it at the terminal or the previous hotel and know it was in that pocket because I placed it there and it was the only Item of value. I paid $30 for my powerbank. People do steal things that do not belong to them. It’s not that uncommon. My only intent was to warn travelers not to use that left luggage location as I suspect they have engaged in this type of stealing before. I did not post it to look for advice, request police reports, or to solicit help to determine if it occurred or not. I know it occurred and would like other travelers to beware. Surely, it is not an expensive item but it does not negate the fact that someone in the shop is a thief. That’s the bittom line.
