Legislator loses Rp 32m in parked car

BEKASI: Legislator Daday Hidayat of the Democratic Party lost
more than Rp 32 million (US$3,440) as his parked Ford Everest was
broken into, early on Tuesday morning.

Daday reported that he lost Rp 22 million in cash, a Nokia
9500 Communicator valued at just under Rp 10 million, four House
of Representatives/People's Consultative Assembly gold pins and
other documents.

The legislator parked his car at a carwash near his house in
Margajaya, Bekasi, at around 1 a.m. and asked an employee there
to watch his vehicle.

At around 5 a.m., one of his neighbors told him that the left
window of his car was broken. "I think the burglar must have
broke into the car sometime between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m.," Daday
surmised.

He reported the case to the Bekasi Police. Bekasi Police chief
Sr. Comr. Edward Syah Pernong said the police had already
questioned witnesses and based on their information, the police
suspected the burglars, probably more than two people, had come
in a red Suzuki Carry. -- Antara
