Take care walking around
Take care walking around
Just stepped out to the riveside near st144 at around 6:30 pm to witness a moto speeding off on the riveside walkway next to the river, with an old barang guy attempting to run after him or get attention from people around. To late the prick on the bike was gone in a flash towards night markets.
No idea what the man lost but at 6:30pm riverside is busy
This morning I have taken my bank cards out of my phone cover and removed my Australia sim. Will only carry them when needed. If some prick is going to snatch my phone that's all I'm losing.

I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

The Riverside has been getting rougher and rougher. Lived there since April. Time to find new digs.

Yep and some guy then comes up to me asking if I needed a lady, who needs help getting action in PP.

I never take my bank cards out. I only ever use ABA e-Cash, which has a maximum $200 a day. If I ever have cause to draw more, it requires a visit home, which ought to be enough for sober reflection of wtf am I doing!atst wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 8:49 am Just stepped out to the riveside near st144 at around 6:30 pm to witness a moto speeding off on the riveside walkway next to the river, with an old barang guy attempting to run after him or get attention from people around.

It's going to get much worse in 2021.

People are getting more desperate. It will get worse before it gets better.
Re: Take care walking around
When did it get better & become worse?

Just the other day my usually quiet side-street erupted into shouting and screaming. I ran to the balcony to see a woman (Khmer) on the floor next to her moto and a guy from the shop opposite running down the road chasing after a couple on a moto. Looked like a bag snatch to me but it could have simply been an accident and the other people didn't want to stop. The girl looked a bit shaken but otherwise unhurt. The guy from the shop had no chance of catching them but at least he gave it a go.
First time I've seen anything like that where I live. It's normally pretty quiet. Then you've got the goings on in Kampot, and stories like the ops....
I agree, things are getting desperate out there.

Re: Take care walking around
I think it's pretty normal in any year. This sort of thing happens every day of every year I've been here. You guys maybe notice it or see it more this year due to less numbers about.xandreu wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 12:42 pm Just the other day my usually quiet side-street erupted into shouting and screaming.

For over a decade, I don't walk on riverside. Less hassle to ride or drive myself, whatever the time.

Re: Take care walking around
Couple of months ago I had drinks with a friend at Deja Vu bar on 118/riverside. As we left, he commented that one of the female staff had just given him the filthiest look. We walked about two blocks south and stopped on a corner for a sec, when a guy in a moto suddenly grabbed his phone and was gone. We then realised he'd actually had a failed first attempt several minutes earlier up the street a bit, and had then come back for the successful grab. Pretty sure he was targeted and set up by the chick from the bar.
