Doorknob dissolved by corrosive crook in PP, Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

A thief used an innovative method to pick a lock on Friday – dumping acid on it.

The victims, a pair of Russey Keo garment workers, were at work at a nearby factory when the bizarre break-in occurred.

Neighbours called the couple to inform them that their front door was open, only for the luckless labourers to return home to a melted doorknob and a house storing $300 less than when they left.
