First I will state we have no full proof evidence that this is how my travel partners camera was stolen but having raked or brains we cant see any other time it could of happened, so I am just writeing this up to make other aware of how it could happen as I hadn't read it anywhere else before

Firstly we were on a Bus from HCMC to PP with Mekong Delta Buses.. but i am assuming this can be done with any other similar style of bus.. and they do constontly remind us they are not responsible for our belongings which is fine but just made us think of the big bags in the hold not the ones inside the bus with us.

Anyway at one point the bus goes on a ferry to cross the Mekong, on this ferry there are a fair few kids up top about the same level as the top of the bus.. once the bus is on they instantly start tapping on the window to get your attention and then start making a gesture as to try and give them food. most people ignored them but a couple did slide the window open at the top of the bus and handed them out the free pack lunch the bus company provided.. This is when we think the theft occurred with the window being slide open the children could put there hands in and rummage through the bags that were stored in the over head shelf. I admit it was my friends fault for leaving something like her camera in the bag but sadly she had.

My only gripe is.. if this is how it happened the bus company must know it happens or at least the bus driver could see it in his wing mirrors.. so they could do more to warn us than just say they are not responsible for our belongings. and before you say i should send this to the bus company I have done and had no response :o anyway rant over.. good day to you all
