Stop Bag Snatching

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.

I'm not asking you to do anything. If you want to to donate to my cause as an expat that has lived in Paris , Portugual, Indonesia ect then do so. If not then do nothing and say nothing.

It could however do with a few amenities to benefit the users, perhaps you could start a gofundme appeal to provide these. :hattip:

Many come here straight from middle class backgrounds with great academic credentials but absolutely zero street smarts. I've never been mugged here or anywhere else. A pikey tried to put a stinky blanket over my head and drag me down an alley when I was about 7, and some inner city gutter snipe tried to steal my watch when I was about 10 but neither were successful. Teach these youngsters how to put valuable items like passports, cash and cards in their pockets for starters.
Wise up, you could avoid so much stress just by buying a wallet or moneybelt.

And what happens when the poor defenseless girl gets accidentally stabbed in the tit whilst some junkie thief tries to take her bag? Do we have to set up a gofundme for her too?

How about a gofundme for shipping back the remains of dead, broke, foreigners?

I can envision the sign now. "Father Jame's dojo of sticks, kicks and dirty tricks. Bar and Pussy Emporium on top floor.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.
