Must be near a dozen reports of phone and bag snatchings from foreigners on Expats in Cambodia FB page in two long threads yesterday.

One starts with a report from a lady who's 8 months pregnant who watched helplessly while moto thieves ran away with her bag, which contained her passport, phone, money and other belongings. She had to have her passport in order to deposit it for a baby cart at the Aeon 2 mall. She also had her 21-month-old child with her.

Group members chimed in with many very recent incidents that happened to them or friends. One guy who had just bought the latest iPhone got his snatched even after he turned away from the street to be more secure for a map check, but the varmint still raced by, grabbed the phone and knocked the owner over.

Sounds like a serious epidemic.
