While bribery and corruption may be high, violent crimes and theft is at a moderate level, despite being a country that has not fully emerged from poverty. Be aware about snatch theft in Cambodia (on your scooter) if you are a woman carrying a purse or if you are using your phone while being on the street. Also make sure you give your motorcycle or scooter to a guard as soon as you enter a restaurant who will keep an eye on it. Otherwise, you may see Cambodian youths trying to force the starter to steal your motorcycle.
