Kampot Thieves Steal Brightly Colored Chip Shop

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

How weird, and mean.
The thief must be stupid to steal such a unique thing, and think it won't be noticed soon somewhere. He's also a bastard to steal someone's working tool.
I'd say it cost about 4000 $ max to build from scratch.

It's got to be some kind of Dutch hilarious joke on the Belgians surely ... surely ...
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."

Hate to say this, but I suppose it will be burnt down for scrap metal unless someone finds it very soon.
What a bloody waste. That's great piece of work. Condolences to the owner.

A bit of French language :

"Avoir la patate " -> To have the potato = Be full of (positive) energy / high stamina
"Avoir la frite "-> To have the (French ?) frie = To be on a good mood, cheerful, and yes also full of energy.

Hence the smiling yellow thing on the logo.

Happy snack wagon, kidnapped.

Yeah, I second this. Whoever stole this probably stole it for scrap. What a waste and pity. I hope you somehow can recover it.
