A miracle ? Korean man gets his bag back - and his $22,800.

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.

Probably shouldn't admit it but I withdrew $18k, went to lunch at Aeon Mall, then caught a random motodop out the front to Riverside to pay the balance on my house. In my front pocket though, not in a grabbable bag. The worst part was I dropped my sunglasses as I got on the bike, whereupon the motodop guy promptly put his foot down on them.

This guy, however, had the cash on him at 6am which adds to the intrigue.

Typo mistake maybe possible.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
