So the GF comes home the other night and explains that her brand new $140 chinese phone got nicked at Heart. This was not surprising in itself, Heart's a saugagefest and a snakepit and we all know it. But the fact that she was mugged by one of the security staff was. Apparently he approached her by the washroom, explained that he had a gun, and relieved her of her phone and $35. He also explained that if she wanted it back he would happily return the items for the nice round sum of $100.
Well, the GF being Khmer, wouldn't let this go without a little vengence. A few days later when the punk-ass security dude showed up at Boeng Kak near the mosquito bar, she bitch slapped him into submission in the presence of dozens of patrons including a couple friends of mine. Punk-ass's fat english girlfriend intervened but made the mistake of sticking her index finger in GF's face. She recieved a free apsara lesson and a backward shove into a convenient mud puddle. The next day punk-ass was sporting a new fat lip and fat english girlfriend had a bandage from the wrist down that reminded me of Goodfella's when Tommy was making fun of Spider's cast after shooting him in the foot the previous day while imitating the oklahoma kid. But I digress...
Still not satisfied justice had been served, the next afternoon GF hauled punk-ass into Heart with the help of a few cop friends and explained the story to management. Apparently dissatisfied with his staff already, he hauled the entire contingent into the local cop shop where it was explained that if the items weren't promptly returned, the entire staff would be seeking new employment. With punk ass in the line-up twisting and turning to avoid recognition, he was easily fingered and spent the night in the grey bar hotel. The next day, in the presence of Heart management and many cops, he handed back the cash and phone and was summarily dismissed from his position as assistant western backpacker groper.
Although walking away is the safest action in such a situation and one I would certainly recommend being the chickenshit I am, I'm glad GF had the chutzpah to see honor served in a just and legal fashion. Her action saved me about $175 but will probably cost me a fortune in bodyguards in the future. Oh well, it was worth it.
So what's the going rate on having people whacked these days anyway?
