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.

What sort of punishment could he expect for his crime? It's obvious that he has no money.

It seems to be an open and shut case.

Looking at the OP, I wonder if he (the thief) didn't just go and help himself to some stuff - a door and some iron bars - from a building site or an abandonned property to build himself a shelter. He probably got busted by a security guard.
Down and out in Phnom Penh. :(

Possible, but nothing is ever really abandoned here. There's always some poor guy sleeping in a hammock hoping that they can please their bosses.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Like the guy stealing a cow a couple of weeks ago, if you're going steal something, at least choose something you can put in your pocket or hide easily :)

Condoms was a good guess....from drug stores a lot .....
But no.... the most popular item lifted is sold....the second most popular is given as a gift...

Last clues....The most popular steal fits in the palm of most hands...
The second most popular steal is larger ...stolen for the opposite sex.
