Unreported crimes in Cambodia

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.

Note to self, if short of money, Rob one of taranis friends as they won't report crime...

But seriously, Khmer's no doubt know it's pointless to report a lot of shit as they know the police will either do nothing or expert cash from them or both.

Seriously though, with robbery there really isn't much the police can do anywhere, let alone Cambodia.

The only crimes I'd consider reporting in Cambodia would be if I witnessed crimes against children.

Unless of course it was something I had to do for an insurance claim or something.

in my experience they ask for cash, from 10 to 50 bucks to be exactly.

Since living in Cambodia there is one thing I firmly believe in now and I have seen the results many times.. That is Karma.

It may not come back to you today or tomorrow but watch out when it does cause it may come back to you with interest added on and you will be sorry.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

A few months back, an 18 year old neighbour girl was in our house as an invited guest. While here, she went into our bedroom and stole an $800 gold necklace.
We didn't notice until about 2 days later, and were sure it must have been her. So, my wife called her in for a chat. Somehow, my wife managed to get the girl to confess that she had stolen the necklace.
She managed to get the girl to write and sign the confession, then read it aloud while it was recorded on the phone's camera.
The next day, my wife went to the local cop shop with the confession. The piggies wanted $50. We didn't pay.
My wife then went and told the girl's parents, who were very apologetic and reimbursed us the $800.
