CHRIS KNIGHT (Down & Out Retired New Zealander) Arrested for Locker Room Theft in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

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.

Nah.

The pinky-promise fixes almost everything.

Fir the rest, there is prahok and the threat of reading redneck TOF posts

He's a Kiwi. Fair cop officer, and all that.

Not that I'm aware of, from what I know he spent most of his time reading and drinking coffee and doesn't drink a whole lot. He was pretty friendly and seemed fairly down to earth (a rarity in Cambodia) when I chatted with him, this is kind of a weird story but I've heard stranger things.

He doesn’t look down an out. He looks very healthy especially so for a Cambodian expat of his years.

Smiple question,
Dunno. Did you mention his poster name ? No outing of forum members.

He was asking about why pictures of posters are allowed if outing wasn’t.

A justified question if you ask me, however to answer his questions, I think a poster gives up that right when they get their photo in khmer papers doing a perp walk. Certainly a dick move by the mod who deleted the post to remove the post without any justification. It’s a valid question with a very simple answer.

If someone hadn’t mentioned he was a poster I doubt many would have put 2 and 2 together, unless they knew him personally.

I'm just getting online, but given MicMac's history of posting pics and vids of fellow members elsewhere in a clear attempt to do nothing other than out them, I assume it was deleted as a "trolling" post.
