You guys are hinting that this a phony story? To what purpose? Forget about cables or pipe bombs and look at the other CCTV photos. Those guys certainly look suspicious to me.

I'm not suggesting it's a "phony" story. I think Miss Cleo genuinely believes she was gassed.

I dont know what happened in this particular situation. But I do know there are crimes where police and criminals work together, and police are criminals. In these situations, police dont want to stop crime, they just want to get money.

If a crime like this occurred in Australia, there would be a major investigation.

It is a sick society when these crimes are allowed to continue.

I'm not saying I think it's fake, but it's clearly a mysterious robbery. Using gas through air vents to gas occupants of a household until they pass out before going in and taking all their stuff is strange.

I also don't see how this is proven by a weird set of wires left behind by the thieves. I just wish this could all be logically explained.

Can you imagine how much gas you'd probably need to knock out some adults in a house that's completely open like that? Should be a couple of empty kegs sat outside the window
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

It would have been easier to put knock out drops in their water tank, but then don't forget the cat was knocked out too.

If this does happen to you expect to be asked how many locks you have bc some how those around you need to believe there lock system is superior compared to yours no doubt protects them. It can happen with 10 locks so stay safe and hopefully the pictures I have can catch these fuckers and it will happen to know one else.'
Or, you could just buy one lock and keep the key on your person or in a safe place.

There are gases that will kill you in microgram quantities, but now I'm beginning to see your point. Yes you would need more gas because these people were not killed and that gas was therefore benign. The story say how long they were supposedly knocked out? And of course that had to knock out the cat in the case it might be an attack cat

It doesn't seem like anyone noticed my first post on this thread, she's the American wacko who set up a tarot-reading stall at Boeng Keng Kang Market years ago.

Where is she living anyway? That looks like a shanty town. Those houses are never secure.
And like I said, it looks like a deprived neighborhood.
None of those doors or even walls are that solid, you could kick your way through
I'm not buying this "gassed" story. Even the highly-trained Spetsnaz couldn't get that right.
And what's this "baby is fine he is not sleeping in the house at the moment he is with his khmer mom"? Is she the baby's other mom or what?
