Siem Reap, Cambodia News: A woman called Seng Ngoun posted on social media to warn people to be careful of their bags when visiting the tourist site of Angkor Wat. The woman posted a photo showing how her bag had been discreetly sliced with a cutter while she was visiting the temple ruins.

Haven’t heard about bag slashers in the KOW. Is this yet another skill exported from the PRC horde?
