In lieu of a prenuptial agreement, a Poipet province man took matters into his own hands by stealing and pawning a motorbike that belonged to his ex-wife.

Police say the 27-year-old went to Siem Reap and lifted the bike of his former partner on Monday before selling it back home.

The proper documents were missing, however, and authorities were alerted.

After a round of questioning the truth came to light and the newly single scooter swindler was held for charges.
