French national robbed

A French woman, in her 30s, has reported the theft of her bag
containing important cards, addresses and papers to the South
Jakarta police precinct.

She said over the weekend she was robbed by an unidentified
man riding on a motorcycle at the Grand Wijaya Center.

The foreigner, who could speak Malay, told The Jakarta Post at
the police precinct that the incident took place just after she
parked her car to have lunch with an American friend at a
restaurant in the business and shopping center.

"I don't care about the money inside the bag, but I need the
cards and the documents," said the victim, who refused to be
named.

She suffered a heavy scratch to her arm trying to prevent the
thief from getting away with her bag.

"Everything went so fast we couldn't identify anything about
the man and his motorcycle," her 47-year-old friend, Phyllis
Copp, a tourist, said.

"I hope that the police can find her property immediately so I
can inform my friends in the United States about the good work of
the Indonesian police," Copp said. (bsr)
