Bet-happy backstabber busted over motorbike, Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

An unemployed gambler in the capital stole his friend’s livelihood in order to pay off his own failed bets.

The indebted deadbeat asked to borrow his motodop friend’s bike to go buy a pack of cigarettes on Sunday, but never returned.

The now moto-less motodop spent his evening searching for his faithless friend instead of customers, informing police of the theft the next day.

By the time they apprehended the fickle friend, he had already pawned the moto.
