Avoid getting Robbed

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

To be fair last weekend I don't even remember getting home so I could have been robbed on the way and wouldn't know.

Fucking tequila.

Notice no-one ever speaks kindly of tequila AFTER the event? :)

If Walter Palmer drowns after drinking tequila, I will praise it.

If Benyamin Netanyahu or Robert Mugabe follow suit, I will do likewise.

A couple centuries ago, pickpocketing was the scourge of cities around the world. From Dickens’ London to New York City’s famous Five Points, skilled thieves practiced their craft, filching the valuables of passersby without the victim noticing a thing. In fact, that’s how pockets in clothing got their start: Prior to the 17th century, men and women alike carried their valuables in purses outside the body; they then started tying pouches inside their clothes in an attempt to thwart would-be “cutpurses” and thieves. But pickpockets soon adapted and learned how to deftly extract the goods from trouser, waistcoat, and jacket pockets alike.

Just stay a way from robbers. :p no one knows how to avoid getting robbed, but I think robbery doesn't happen often like snatch.

id say its harder to avoid the robbers tbh
there are many ways to avoid getting robbed/snatched..
dont parade your goods around..
keep your personal belongings on your person not in a bag..
have a decent chain and padlock when locking up your bike..
if being robbed, morph into a dinosaur and bite their head off.. :dragonchase:

I think morph into a dinosaur and bite their head off means ប្រែកាយជាសត្វដាយណូស័រ ហើយ ខាំក្បាលពួកគេ។
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.
