It seems like they have a good record of finding these thieves. I wonder how they were able to find them.

It shows you how honest the Cambodian police are. In Thailand, they may catch the thieves but the money will be missing.

They only publicize the cases where they catch someone, and the article doesn't actually specify that the person got all their money back.....
