Motorbike lost at Secure Parking lot

Motorbike lost at Secure Parking lot

On March 31, my Honda Grand Astrea was stolen from the parking
lot at the Iskandarsyah Building, an area managed by Secure
Parking company.

On that day, at approximately 5:30 p.m., I went down to
basement level 2 (B2) where I had parked my motorbike in the
morning. To my shock, I found that my motorbike had disappeared.

I reported the incident to the Secure Parking guard, but he
was unable to do anything personally. I then went to the
Iskandarsyah Building on April 1 to report the incident to a
Secure Parking employee. Together, we then reported the theft to
Taman Puring police station.

On April 9, Firdaus, a representative of Secure Parking
company, paid me a visit to inquire once again what had happened
on March 31. The explanation I received from Secure Parking was
that the company could not be held responsible for any losses
occurring within its parking lot, and that Secure Parking could
compensate me for the loss only to the tune of Rp 1 million.

My concern is how can a motorbike parked in a supposedly
secure parking lot, guarded by two security posts, leave the lot
without its parking ticket? This then raised another concern:
What is the point in employing security guards if they don't do
their job?

I can only conclude that parking at lots managed by Secure
Parking, an established company that claims to be professional in
its line of work, is no more secure than parking at the roadside.
