I took a taxi, one of those that cram passengers like sardines,from Bavet to PP yesterday. Forgot one of my bicycle bags in the trunk Stupid me. He had just taken off, when I realized that one bag was missing, hopped on my bicycle and chased him through rush hour traffic, to no avail. Returned to where he had dropped me off, at some kind of Tuktuk stand. Waited for a while in the hope that he would come back. He looked like a nice and honest guy. Also what's in the bag is of little use to him, unless he is a biker.Mainly bike gear, a large supply of expensive sunblock etc... One of the tuk tuk driver could speak a little English. I left my email with him (didn't have a Vietnamese Sim yet.) Made inquiries about some lost and found place in PP, but allegedly does not exist. Also, the taxis don't congregate around the central market anymore in the morning. Used to be that in one corner you had the Taxis to SV, in another the SR taxis and so on. Any ideas, other than telling me to get my head checked for dementia.
Help :Forgot bag in taxi

Post in taxi groups on Facebook. Describe car, driver and route.
Also write down a reminder for yourself. Phnom Penh is not in Vietnam. Refer to it daily, locals will not appreciate it if you forget.

The guy you gave your email address to has most likely never sent an email in his life.

Telegram & messenger are the only options used by locals. Add WhatsApp if they're more sophisticated.

Meant to say "didn't have a Cambodian Sim yet". I guess my only realistic option is to return to Bavet and hang around the place where he picked me up.
