Police covering up car theft bribery<\/p>\n
Referring to your article in The Jakarta Post, on Dec. 14,
\nentitled Police say no charge to report stolen car; public begs
\nto differ, I am flabbergasted that the Police force, or its
\nspokesperson, Sr. Comr. Tjiptono (the Post, Dec. 13) said a day
\nearlier that the police never demanded bribes from autotheft
\nvictims.<\/p>\n
During the Idul Fitri holiday in 2003, our office car, an
\nIsuzu Panther Minivan worth around Rp 65 million with a Jakarta
\nlicense plate number was stolen in Sukabumi, West Java. The
\nprocess of obtaining the necessary documents to be able to
\nprocess the insurance claim, cost my company Rp 5.7 million and
\ntook six weeks to arrange as the documents had to be processed in
\nSukabumi, Bandung and Jakarta. The cost had been kept to a
\nminimum as many connections within the police bureaucracy were
\nmade use of, but without these \"friends\", who knows what the cost
\nwould have been.<\/p>\n
Even the insurance companies\/their agents are aware of these
\ncharges and very often the claims adjuster for the insurance
\ncompany will provide mediation services between the insured and
\nthe police to arrange for the necessary documents.<\/p>\n
