A grocery store owner discovered that trusting strangers is bad policy when it comes to protecting valuables.

The 24-year-old woman always kept her moto outside her Siem Reap shop, but on Tuesday, a 27-year-old police officer was daring enough to make off with the bike.

The shopkeeper spotted the thief and reported the incident, not knowing a lawman committed the robbery. The suspect confessed in short order and is now awaiting a court date. Koh Santepheap
