In his short walk of shame, the thief was seen trudging back to the counter with a sheepish smile and returning the gold chain to the owner before waiting for police to arrive.

41-year-old owner Jarae Nitikarun had auto-locked the door remotely preventing Panthong from escaping.

Panthong later confessed to the cops that he was recently terminated from his job at a factory and was struggling to find other sources of income
"I arrived on a motorcycle and walked into the shop. I didn't have any weapons. I just wanted to make extra money because I lost my job recently," he said, reported Daily Mail.
He is now facing multiple charges and potentially several years in jail.
