Just because the call of nature sounds, doesn’t mean it’s OK to let your guard down, a 32-year-old man in Tbong Khmum learned on Wednesday.

En route to a pagoda, the farmer pulled off the road to relieve himself, but left his key dangling in the ignition.

An opportunistic passerby saw his chance, seized the bike and sailed a couple of kilometres before police brought the heist to an end.

The suspect admitted to his brief joyride and was sent to court. KOH SANTEPHEAP
