Sofitel Employees Steal $14,000 Worth of Jewelry from Guest

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

My friend can now ask for some compensation as it is obvious the same thief stole the money from his wallet. (Plus there is no warning against leaving things in the locker like most gyms)

Here you go.

​​​​​From the link: "១៤​ម៉ឺន​ដុល្លារ"

Surely that would be $140,000 ?

Yes they did. It happened only last week. Met spa manager initially then someone higher up. They 'investigated' but found no evidence.
The thieves took a few $100 bills out of a wallet but left the small notes.
Going to go back and complain (with the link) and get 6 mths or a years membership as compensation.

I see the value of the jewels are all over the place, ranging from $14,000 to $300,000!

MaybE you'll get a lifetime membership.

It was the bodyguard probably. TV footage showed he had the key, stayed in the locker room the whole time, & the 2 employees have been released. LINK: http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/g ... ds-workers

Maybe he stole Rama's friend's money too!

I guess it's more likely that they took the fall in the first place from all the numerous pretty thefts they've been doing that everyone already knew about, LoL.
