What proof do you have that he was not robbed?

We've had lost of people who claim to be educated, and who probably consider themselves civilised, assuming things.

Yet these are, by and large, the same people who cried about some repeat- offending drug dealers getting their just rewards for dealing in death (heavy drugs) in Indonesia.

I simply cannot understand why they defend those people and want Nick to suffer/die (I think your eloquent, multiple usage of 'fuck him' leave little doubt).

For someone who claims such intellectual superiority Vlad, you aren't half a stupid cunt.

a) Where's the police report. Not proof per se, but a start.
b) It's been talked over a thousand times how impossible it would be drain a debit account with the amount claimed
c) If being 'robbed'counts as 'being skanked on a kilo of ice/smack', well yeah, he was robbed but in that case...
d) Fuck him, how can the British taxpayer be expected to bail out a cashed up smack head who lived off the system all his life, gets a windfall and fucks it up in SEA hasn't got the inclination to make the slightest bit of effort to remedy his sad situation.
e) Where's the proof he was robbed? 'Can't remember where or when, but $xxxxxxx was stolen along with me Macbook'. Bull. Shit.

I expect it had something to do with Wat Phnom dwarfs with gay AIDS in red shoes on K440, however. And lawyers.

Buy better travel insurance. I've used travel and expat insurance several times over the years. They have never once refused to pay, nor taken excessively long to reimburse. And they were quite explicit on signing up about whether paid the hospital directly or required reimbursement. And these guys were flush before they left. Travel insurance would have been a drop in the bucket for them. Could have saved everybody a lot of trouble.

@ kampog Spooner:

I asked you for PROOF.

'It has been talked about' does not constitute proof. It is hearsay.

It is not his duty to prove he was robbed. You are making the accusation, it is therefore your duty to prove it.

You cannot.

You have provided only speculation and nothing that even amounts to circumstantial evidence.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed that you understood the term 'proof'.

You do not.

Your resort to personal insults and whatever else says more about you than it does about me.

I'm not claiming intellectual superiority, but in this case you are reasoning like a fool.

No court would listen to you. You know that, I know that, we all know that.

I suggest you read some basic law text, Principles of Roman Dutch law by Wille is a good start, but seriously, I was aware of burden of proof in primary school.

That'd be his mother I think.

Nice editing vlad.

Bit rich about trading personal insults from a poster like you, but never mind.

However, i do believe in cases such as emergency assistance/discretion etc, some form of evidence of crime is needed (proof, if you will) in the form of a police report. No report, no crime. Hardly LA Law shit, is it?

Let me get this straight:

You are supporting the embassy demanding proof from Nick that he was robbed, yet you accuse him of something similar to robbery without ANY proof?

You don't see the irony in that?

Make up your mind; do you believe in burden of proof or not?

It's not something you can choose to ignore when it suits you.

I accuse him of nothing more than not offering proof needed to get him some sort of help from the embassy.

Common sense tells everyone who has dabbled in horse (i aint no mother theresa) that he's on gear.

It's not like you even care, just another case of picking a fight. Some insecurity issues perhaps, with the internet as some sort of release mechanism. Not helping you dude.

I hate to spoil this with a sensible post, but many credit/debit cards in the EU offer automatic hospital/health insurance when you use them to buy your plane ticket. I presume that he didn't pay cash.
But you do need to contact them, they won't contact you.
Drugs are probably not covered, but getting run over by a truck should be.
