This is just the point Mr Judge. Let me spell it out for you since you can't figure out why the thieves would leave you alone if you live in Bangkok. The thieves would not harass you because they would think,
"That Judge guy is just a poor thief like me who steals a cell phone and sells it back for $5 to buy a bowl of rice for himself and his family. He is just as broke as I am."
The thief will see a better opportunity to steal from the traveler who foolishly leaves his things lying around.
By the way I'm not alleging you are a thief. I'm just speaking figuratively. But I have to say you seem to be happily going along with it.
