Kampot Guest House Puts Out Alert for Stolen Motorbike

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

a bust from 12years ago and now he has gone into stealing motorbikes in Cambodia...

Whose going to buy a old rental without the correct paperwork?
Probably owed on the bike, didnt have the $$ to pay the rental, so got is passport back an just left it somewhere
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

So you think becuase the guest house made an mistake in trusting a customer they should not try to track him down and recover their propery and money owed? :facepalm:
Not at all. I never even remotely implied that. They had a mechanism in place to prevent this exact thing from happening. They bypassed their own mechanism. They should absolutely try and recover the bike but if they can’t, this is an expensive lesson.
Cambodia: where money can buy you absolutely anything except intelligence.

I just had breakfast at the guest house.

This is now resolved the American got in touch with the guest house yesterday and paid an agreed amount for the loss of the moto & rental income.
The guest house updated the facebook post for reflect that fact.
Several hours later they removed the posts from FB.
