Yes, I bought another one.  So on Friday night in Phnom Penh I hired a bike for $2 USD per day and my Vietnamese Drivers Licence as bond.  On Saturday for lunch I caught up with my manager from Engineers without Borders (EWB).  Ang and I got to the general area on time, however we couldn’t find the restaurant and biked around for about 30 minutes trying to find it.  I finally went to a real estate agent and he helped.

So I arrive for lunch half an hour late and hot and sticky.  I put my bike in the compound and Ang goes and does some errands.  We began catching up and after about ten minutes I look up and I see that my bike has gone.  Yep, the bike was in front of me and in the compound had somehow disappeared.  I quickly looked out of the street and then found the manager and then had another look and asked all the customers.  There was one bike on the road not locked up and no one owned this.  My best guess is that a customer took the wrong bike.  Not sure how you do this and there were some differences.

I sat for the rest of lunch with my eyes glued to my ‘new’ bike.  At the end of lunch I cycled away on this bike and thought how will I return this back to the rental agency? This is what my new stead looked like

The next day I rocked up to the rental agency and put it in the stand and went to get my license back.  They said that is not our bike and I said yes it was. We then spent the next 15 minutes pointing out what the differences of this bike were and they threatened me with calling the police as I was going to leave my license there.  We also had random people for the street giving their opinions too.  In the end I paid $50USD, got my license back and rode away on my bike.  I am currently trying to sell in:(.  Anyway interested?
