This is giving me a bad feeling.
Yes both passports were stolen in Phuket and both tickets purchased in Pattaya.
A lot of passports are stolen in Thailand and there is an "underground" business selling them. Tourists gladly hand over their passports for renting something or even a guided tour ... and oops, lost.
While the two passports have been reported stolen at different times, they could very well have been purchased at the same time.
My guess is that your bad feeling is not going to get any better
