Re: Have you been a victim of crime? Poll.
Moto at gunpoint in PP in 1996. Cash from locked drawer in supposedly secure room in my OWN establishment! Inside staff job almost certainly. Somewhere around 2015 in Snooky. MP3 player by Vietnamese hooker from Martini circa 2010. My bad, let my guard down. Probably a couple others I have forgotten.
I think the poster that said it should be how many, not if, was on the right track!

I dont live in KOW but comE for many years usually staying in hotels. Never had any issues, even opposite. I think in 2016 i lost my old nokia-phone in Golden House on 136. Thaught for sure it was the girl who was with me took it, but surprisingly, weeks later i got a mail from Golden House, they found my phone in laundry. They kept it for 1.5 year and when i entered recepcion, the girl (i think daughter from the owner) knew exactly why i entered !! Happy ending. Apart from that, my dutch friend get stolen is wallet in SHV on newyears-eve on the beach, 2 girls bumped into me also and pretty sure they stole his wallet. I usually carry only a small nokia-phone and a very small wallet with some cash and an expired khmer driving-licence. What would they steel from me ??

No serious crime, but like everybody in this thread; yes
Bar break in in 2010 - got my PC
Skanky cashier got signet ring in a handshake - 2011
Two dipshits stole important parts of disassembled bikes in my shed - 2021
plus some unimportant petty stuff not worth dredging up

I've been taken advantage of more times than I care to count - haven't we all? - but in terms of being a victim of crime, I'm incredibly fortunate to have got to my grand old age and not had any problems whatsoever with crime at all, in any country that I've lived.
So far...

Got whacked in the head by a hooligan wearing a ring in Bangkok in 1999, and got burgled in Phnom Penh in 2007 when I stupidly left my balcony door open. Nothing other than that.

10 years in Indonesia, nothing.
3 years in Kow, i've been thrown down my scooter while commuting by two thugs on another scooter, scratches & bruises, wasn't hit by the following vehicle.
One week after, got bumped from behind by a car on my scooter, scratches & bruises again, wasn't hit by following vehicle again. Same place both times, close to roundabout National 4 direction PPEZ. Both vehicles ran away.
I thought it could have been work-related, but it didn't make much sense. Also, i'm hard to follow on a 2-wheeler, gotta be pretty fast and confident to try to catch me like that.

Yes - in a large Phnom Penh clothes market my wife's mobile phone was stolen from her bag (possibly while I was holding it)

Re: Have you been a victim of crime? Poll.
I don't consider myself a victim of crime because all the incidents over the years were of my own making. Lost substantial amounts through my young carelessness and wild ways. I did have one particularly violent encounter and I thought it was 50/50. In all honesty if you behave yourself and have the street smarts I think you're a bit unlucky if you lose out.

Motorcycle, bicycle, phone
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.
