ROBBERY WARNING IN SIEM REAP!!!
Re: ROBBERY WARNING IN SIEM REAP!!!
Re: 1 It doesn't ring true. They grab, run and count their swag later. Emptying the wallet, throwing it back and "giving the finger" sounds like an embellishment through Chinese whispers.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 12:55 pm1 - no thief wants a wallet/bag, just the cash, and no cop shop will dust fingerprints from a wallet after a robbery - what do you think this is an episode of CSI Miami?Doc67 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 10:17 amthey took his wallet took the money and threw the wallet at him and gave him the finger!
Hmm, (1) why take out the contents and return the wallet with your fingerprints on it? (2) How many Khmers have you ever seen giving people "the finger"? (3) That's a very detailed account of someone who's been hit in the head and had their nose broken.
This is not passing the sniff test.
2 - I have seen shitloads of Khmer people giving the finger, and idk about you but I tend to remember important details clearly, especially when there's high emotion of any kind involved
And it is exactly the sort of thing that can happen to naive young people late in the evening on Soksan road, Siam Reap
Re: 2 - I am surprised, I have seen zero people using the gesture here, not a single one. Were these shitloads you speak of giving at you, or were these observations of others getting it?
When did, "naive young people" on Soksan Road come into the equation? Is this an assumption? Are you an ageist Jerry?

So you made it up then?Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 2:26 pmNo, there are just as many naive old folk around the place.
Some of them have never even seen a khmer give the finger

I said "It's exactly the sort of thing that can happen to naive young people" which is true - I didn't make any comment on the ages of the victims - although the OP can prob answer that
re: finger, yeah seen it many times, perhaps not as often as western europe but it's here and used, often as a joke

I moved to SR in 2009 and even then there were constant cases of bag snatchings. Violence was, and still is, rare but did happen occasionally.Bongmab69 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 4:17 pm I havent been in SR since 2019, and am surprised soksan road is after midnight target-area ??

The last time someone tried to rob me (in PP), they gave me the finger and a “fuck you” for good measure. I don’t doubt the OP in this regard.

Ranting and raving with a meat clever should get you home safely.
