14Yo Girl Borrows Motorbike and Sells It

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.

but this kind of story is far from unique, in fact it puts florida to shame

so i assume something (everything) is lost in translation
Comparing Cambodia to a state in the greatest country the world has ever seen isn't exactly a flattering one, even if it is Florida!

The legend (true??) in Oz is that if you reply to a vehicle For Sale notice, then the owner hands you the keys to take it for a drive around the block - if you don't come back the cops can't lift a finger.
It is a civil matter because if you were handed the keys, you just broke an agreement to return the car..
Selling it would be different tho'.

Thank JB, I should have known - Cambodians have always been more practical rather than cerebral in their approach to justice.
