Diamonds are forever, not maids

JAKARTA: A housemaid allegedly absconded late on Wednesday
from the house of Betty Suganda, 69, in Cempaka Putih, Central
Jakarta, where she had started working the previous day.

One of the house's occupants, Eny, 32, said she had looked for
the housemaid, Rumi, 33, all over the house.

Eny said there was no sign of Rumi in the house, but she
noticed that Betty's cupboard had been forcibly opened and its
contents left in disarray.

According to the house occupants, a jewelry case containing
Betty's diamond rings and certification documents for the rings,
two glasses and Rp 2 million (US$225) in cash was missing. They
said that they had suffered total losses of about Rp 55 million.

Cempaka Putih Police said the maid's employers didn't have any
information on her address. -- Antara
