Pulled off our moto by bag snatcher in Kep
On Sunday afternoon my girlfriend was driving down the main road near Kep Market and I was sitting on the back with a shoulder bag. Three motos surrounded us and one guy attempted to snatch by bag but only succeeded in pulling us of our moto. Luckily I am just grazed and bruised but my girlfriend has hurt her knee quite badly and can hardly walk (we had a nurse friend take a look and it just bad bruising).
I never expected this to happen in Kep! We have lived here for a few months and always felt totally safe. Some local friends said there was another similar incident recently. Please remember to stash bags / purses when driving.

The usual explanation for a rise in crime is Khmer New Year, holidays coming up. Watch your bags folks.
Did you report the incident to the competent authorities ? Kep's a small place and the thugs are probably known if they are local.
Sorry to hear you got injured. Best to the girlfriend.

Should be a 'stickied' thread at the top of the page with a title along the lines of 'Keep your wits about you and your belongings safe for the forthcoming holiday'
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

"The revolution did more than legally create the United States; it transformed American society... Far from remaining monarchical, hierarchy-ridden subjects on the margin of civilization, Americans had become, almost overnight, the most liberal, the most democratic, the most commercial minded, and the most modern people in the world." - Gordon S.

Having a bag on you while riding a motorbike is pretty sensible. It's not like he was juggling iphones while riding a unicycle.
