With all of their eggs in one basket – or bag, rather – a couple became a target for capital thieves at their market stall in Choam Chao commune.

The vendors claim they were preparing to close up shop on Saturday and left their makeshift cash register, a satchel, inside.

When everything was closed up they realised the bag was gone, and they went to police in the hopes of getting back the $2,000 and two phones that were in the bag.
