Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On April 2, 2020, at 12:30 am, a western man named OLIVIER RENAUD, was arrested for stealing a bag from a military officer in a coffee shop, on the corner of street 13/130, Khan Daun Penh, Phnom Penh.

The victim of the theft, Sem Sunfy, said that on April 1, at 7:30 pm, he went to a coffee shop with his friend. He left his bag with all his stuff on the table and went to the toilet, while his friend went up to order the coffee and bring it back to the table. When the officer returned, he realized that his bag was missing. He requested that the coffee shop security officers check their CCTV cameras, and they saw that his bag had been taken away by a westerner.


The bag contained an ID card, a passport, a military certificate from China, 200 USD, 2 million riels, and a laptop. The officer went out and searched for the suspect and found him at an internet shop on street 13/130 later that evening. The western man was arrested and sent to the police station.


The military officer has filed charges of theft against the western man and police have sent the suspect to Khan Chamkarmorn police station.

200 USD? looks more like 2,000 USD. Had Olivier Renaud been a little more clever, he'd have had a pretty good score! A pile o' cash, laptop, wireless mouse, power bank, phone, etc. And as a bonus, a military certificate from China! Surprised theres no substances!

Probably will see more thefts by starving begpackers and teachers soon.

Not starving yet. Hes still got some belly fat to burn off. He probably just enjoys thieving.

Oh this story is too much! The victim found him with the goods at a internet cafe. What, was he boasting about his short lived score to his Fakebook friends?

"The VICTIM of the theft"
"He left his bag with all his stuff on the table and went to the toilet, while his friend went up to order the coffee and bring it back to the table. When the officer returned, he realized that his bag was missing."

yeah that's true haha
I have some mutual friends with him and it seems out of character. But WTF do I know? Oh, and I think he was a professional runner so I'm surprised he didn't give them the slip.

Those internet cafes are notorious hangouts for crackheads... Good place to sell/swap stolen loot I guess.

Sure, I like the "the aggrieved fool." Since he made a police report out though, how about "the foolish plaintiff."

We've all done foolish shit. I've done exactly what the foolish plaintiff did. Well not exactly, I do most things on my own, and this foolish dude obviously assumed that his pal would watch the goods. And in no goddamed way would I leave all those electronics and thousands in US cash outta my hands, let alone outta sight. Isnt there something weird about this story though? Why do they say only 200 USD, when thats clearly not the case? And being military, he was smart enough to keep the substances in his pockets!
