I Read About so many stolen Motorcyles
They are cheap compared to the cost of the motorcycle. Even if they forcefully take it away from you, you can use the remote to activate the alarm as they drive away.
A google search will provide more info. Cost from $30.00+

this link will show you the moto alarms with free shipping sent to Cambodia.
And don't you think aliexpress would take Cambodia out of the list of countries they ship to, if getting packages there was a hassle or a problem?

I'm sure we are all aware of that. Thats why we should try to be sure we post comments and opinions that we are knowledgeable about.
Or to complete a basic alarm, when you go out at night, buy a cheap android phone that you stick under the sit, don t forget to set up a free software like "find my android", when the bike get stolen, you will be able to locate it...
If you cannot find any place where to buy an alarm send me a pm... I can help you....
I am not really sur if i am clear, but english is not my mother tongue....

there are petty thieves and pro thieves. if u own some amazing piece of a bike and one gives order for that to be stolen, u can have on it whatever extraterrestrial alarm system and/or phone glued on it, u will never see it again. cause pro gangs will get the job done no matter what. petty thieves on the contrary are the type that avoid work, thats why they became thieves, they dont want to work. so they will not put much effort in their daily robbing activities. any inconvenient in their way, will go to the next bike.
now, thierrysavoie story about bike baffled me as i find it almost unbelievable. find the phone attached to bike because of locator? the first thing one does when finds a phone is take out the battery and throw away the simcard. no locator can help. android phones with no removal battery are taken on the spot to some guy with bit of knowledge and software is reset instantly, imei changed and goodbye finding your phone.
but again, im new to cambodia, maybe here thieves are different, maybe they dont know much about phones, maybe no smart phone cracking guys, dunno.
imo, if i would have a very good bike with a very good alarm and android locator phone on it, im not sure i will want to check the locator once the bike is gone. might found myself in a risky situation. first i will grab some guns, lots of ammo and some expendable friends, then i would open that locator thingy and go find it.

mate, android phones, i KNOW. bikes, i dont. give me an adroid phone and in 5 minutes it will look like no one ever installed any piece of software on it. software-wise, even the manufacturer will deny he ever built it

Its more about the reliability of the cell phone, network and having the cell phone charged. Its a bit of hassle to charge it.
One can also get ten, twenty different locks and alarm to install on the bike to prevent it from being stolen but its the hassle of doing so. I think the thief may abandon the thought of stealing it just looking at the number of locks/alarm one need to break:P I don't own a expensive bike worth so much time and effort.
Then its about the part of getting back the bike once we locate it and may end up in a sticky situation. May consider dorian293 suggestion

Hey you forgot to mention about putting the red colour sweatband arond your head and bazooka may deems necessary in this mission : just to retreive a bike.
Getting the police may be another option if one is very SURE of the bike location but ....... . It can be equally tricky if you bring the police to the place with no bike but just a mobile phone in sight.
At one time, I wanted to get a GPS locator on top of the alarm already installed in the vehicle when traveling to another country. However read about the pro in that country who can easily overcome it plus my vehicle insurance includes theft.
Anyway we don't really have the statistics of how, when, what and where the bike are usually stolen to do a root cause analysis. Its just a causal discussion.
and back to bikes. i think the correct question is: for what bike are u willing to be a hero? read martyr. cause locals never do one on one's. and those that make a living out of stealing bikes... carry a firearm and still dont do one on one's! :S
imo, i would buy a non-appealing bike, install a 20-30-40$ alarm on it, just to keep off the petty thieves and thats it. if i buy a more desirable motor, i need more than 40$ alarm + android phone hidden there. because i will be targeted by a better category of thieves.
I am not sure about sihanoukville, do they have security guard there to look after the bikes at night?
Most local park their bike inside their house at night especially those who owns newer bike.
...and now no more motorbikes, just a buggy... normally as there are not much here (apart few other models only those i sell)...
