One of the guys has shoes (and trousers) on. Isn't this a bit overdressed ?
Also I can't read Khmer, but are you sure they say "raping"? (Victim is a 66 yo British expat.)

It's like the damn circus came to town! I guess Dave Scotcher should be thankful he wasn't the next Dave Walker.

Yeah, walking into someone's house, roughing them up, then taking their passport and some collateral doesn't sound like a random robbery, sounds like a, "you better have what you owe us when we come back."hanno wrote:Agreed; BS meter is on full alert.
