Dead wrong: mourner steals bag at funeral

A Kampong Chhnang man plumbed new depths on Thursday, after it was discovered he had helped himself to a fellow mourner’s bag at a funeral.

The day after the funeral, the victim tracked the location of the missing luggage from one of the phones in the bag and informed police, leading to the 47-year-old’s arrest.

Grief is said to come in many forms, but theft might be a step too far.
