I raced towards them but unfortunately my engine revving alerted them and they took a right on Sihanouk, then another at the next small street (20+?). I yelled out "jao jao!" while pointing at them and bystanders threw stuff at them (rocks?), but they managed to turn right again (back at their starting point!) and they turned left on Norodom. I saw the girl and guys unknowingly walking back so abandoned pursuit and talked to them. Pisses me off that I didn't get them, should have followed them non-chalently and then rammed them once I was close enough or there was enough traffic. The number of jaos is staggering...

I know it gets the adrenaline going (at least it does with me) when I see a thief, and few things get under my skin more than low life thieves like such...but going after them isn't a smart thing to do. Many are just snatchers, but many are dangerous too and it's best just to steer clear of them for self preservation sake unless you're armed AND connected.

I'd hate to see you fall victim to some piece of shit low life thief because of a phone. Take care of yourself and be careful.
