Sihanoukville: reports of up to 40 foreign passports lost or stolen.

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.

was at the barbers today and some guys were trying to sort something out, they had either had their passports stolen, or were worried about getting them stolen (due to reading/hearing about what happened)

Lots of questions after this episode. Such as, what was the regular means of 'secure' transport used by many (all?) Sihanoukville travel agencies to send passports to Phnom Penh up until now ? If the normal method was sending them unsecured with bus companies like Vireak Buntham, (more than likely), then the agencies are getting a awake up call, reminding them that passports are valuable documents.

The whole thing really sucks for the people that have lost their passports, but :protest: If there is a big enough stink about this, maybe the SHV travel agents will be more careful about handling passports in the future. :voilent5:

And yes, names ???
