About taking the wrong moto! I was sitting eating and drinking, watching the world go by. A Khmer pulled up on a Honda dream and parked up in the row of more dreams outside the restaurant. He came in to eat. When he went to leave, he got on the Honda next to his own! The bike started up with his key, all of a sudden there's a big performance and he's surrounded by people preventing him leaving. Genuine mistake of identity.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Appears to happen daily in Kampot, people post in the Noticeboard because their bike has been taken by mistake, usually from outside a bar late at night.
Here's a novel idea, lock your bike up, or even better leave the farking thing locked up at home if you're going out drinking!

Also about taking the wrong moto, when SHV utopia was still on its first location on the beach, a french khmer friend and myself got out rental nabbed, my friend was insisting that not our bike was actually ours “look the key is starting it” he kept on saying.
We ended up riding it away, only to fall down miserabily on the first sand bump with the khmer rightful owner chasing us and quickly retrieving his bike only adding more shame to our bruised egos.
Of course the next morning we had to share the 800$ stolen rental cost.

Sure this is the same guy that tried the same thing in front of my place here in Kampot with a friends Airblade. When my friend confronted him (straight away as he was trying to start the Airblade), he said he took the wrong bike by accident and apologized. Same guy stole plant-pots and jerrycans from another place and another motobike around the corner from my place. Great guy. Glad they arrested him.

Keys from the same type of cheap brand bike will often work in the same type of bike but it will eventually break the lock if you use it too much. Those things ignite from the twist of a screwdriver. Really don't get what all the surprise is about.
Next people will be chocked their $5 padlock or their front door is the same shit... What do you mean my 10KKHR lock with a key like everyone else from a glue sniffing mechanic sucks?!
