Romanian Man RADU​ TRAIAN​ POPESCU​ Arrested for Begging, Living Illegally in Siem Reap

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.

^^ It baffles me too, jay. I’ve never lost my passport abroad, but I recall one time when I couldn’t find my passport at home for something when I was in PP, and I had a hissy-fit until I found it.

You get the impression that most of them don't really want to sort the problem out to be honest
I'd guess that most didn't exactly "lose" their passport, but probably gave it as security for unpaid rent or something, then couldn't pay to get it back.
