Ricketson's Son Loses His Laptop

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.

If I knew who it was I'd tell him for free, but the picture isn't much to go on. Looks like a spook.

I suspect, on facebook the resolution has been reduced. When someone takes a screenshot from that, the picture is not clear.

If he took a screenshot from the original video, the picture may be much clearer.

I suspect that it's from a very low res original source, perhaps an infrared security camera? And that picture with those blurred out features and burned in eyes is the best they have come up with. It's got nothing to do with Facebook, it's just a very poor quality image to begin with so it's impossible to identify anyone.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

The evidence that the tuk tuk driver "stole" Ricketson Jr's laptop is about as flimsy as that used to convicted his father of espionage.

The only evidence Ricketson Jr. offers in that post is that the driver had the time to hide the laptop under the seat. There's nothing to prove that he actually did this.

Oh absolutely. But whether or not he took it, it was a bit careless of the flatmate to create the opportunity by leaving it in the tuk tuk at night for any length of time. A passer by could well have grabbed it. The driver seemed a bit casual at the end of the video... surely he'd have been in more of a hurry to get away if he'd pinched it?

Ricketson says “It was definitely the tuk tuk driver. No question.”
