Bag/phone/camera/jewelry snatching is very common in Phnom Penh. I lived there for most of my 20s and it happened once or more to most of the people I knew there. It happened to my wife twice, one of the times she was pulled off of our moto in the process and was injured badly.

Do not have your phone out in tuk tuks, walking down the street, etc. don't walk with a purse over your shoulder unless you have a jacket or something over it.
