An unemployed man set out to make some quick cash but proved inept as a thief in Phnom Penh on Saturday.

Police in the capital’s Phsar Doeum Thkov commune said they busted the suspect trying to steal a Honda Dream motorbike.

The alleged thief’s plan had been to stash the bike on a plot of unmarked land near his home, but the 41-year-old, who had no clear job to speak of, was thwarted in the act.
