Mugged in Pnom Penh by RebeccaBradley
Guys, I'm a panicky mother in Castlegar BC, whose son has just been mugged in Pnom Penh. He left me a message on FB a couple of hours ago, but I wasn't online, and I'm waiting for him to come back online. All his money and bank cards were stolen, ...

Hey Rebecca, I'm so glad this worked out ok. I would have reacted EXACTLY the same in your position - and I'm not even a mum! Your son is very lucky to have such a caring mum looking out for him from afar so I hope he appreciates you! I have no ... Read More

Thanks, Sy, that's very kind. He is back in Vietnam for the moment, but I will pass your number on to him. Despite his bad experience, he was very intrigued with Cambodia, and would like to return. Cheers, and thanks to you all. Rebecca Read More

No offense taken, James. :) Aaliyah, he's fine now, and so am I. That is, the solid ball of anxiety in my stomach has somewhat dissolved. Now I know how MY mum felt when I was traipsing around the Sudan in my twenties... Read More

Rebecca, May I ask how much he ask you to send?? Something seems a little fishy... Also how long as he been away from home? (btw, I'm from Calgary also) And does he work out here or just come out here for vacation??Thanks for your concern, but ... Read More

why was he taken to the hospital for?....Oh, it's a long story. He's in Sihanoukville now, leaving for Saigon in a few days. But somehow he likes Cambodia very much, despite his bad experience, and may come back. Read More

Another question. He was taken to hospital in an ambulance--pretty much by force--and then released without treatment. Because all his money had been stolen, they had to let him go without him paying anything, but he then received an emailed ... Read More

Why was he carrying all his money and bank cards, not a wise thing to do in any foreign city. You can send him money by Western Union if need be until he gets his bank cards replaced, not an easy thing to do here if its a Canadian Bank.He was on the ... Read More

Thanks for your response. No, his passport was not stolen, and I've wired him some cash, which I hope will reach him soonest. It's just that he's alone and friendless in a strange place, and has just had a very unpleasant, disorienting experience. ... Read More

And a question: should he or should he not go to the police? All my travel experience is in Arab countries, where I would NOT go to the cops, but my Asian experience is very limited. Read More

Well, Owen has been back in touch. He's at a guesthouse called something like the Son Lak, very near the central market. He'll try and get a phone number and exact name for the place, but if anybody wants to get in touch, his FB name is Huxtable ... Read More
