Keep your friends close, and your marks closer. A 20-year-old moto thief put this philosophy into practice on Tuesday when he attended a party with a group of friends.

After whiling away the hours together, the suspect asked to borrow his buddy’s bike, concocting a tale about a sick wife in hospital.

When the suspect didn’t return the next day, the victim filed a complaint to the police, which got the man to confess to selling the moto. He was sent to court. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
