Pickpockets plague train passengers

JAKARTA: Passengers of the commuter trains on the Kota-Rangkas
Bitung route have complained about an increase in the number of
pickpockets on the trains.

One victim, Marni, 20, said on Thursday pickpockets stole her
wallet, which she kept in her purse. She said she had Rp 65,000
in the wallet.

"They slashed my purse," Marni said, adding that she did not
report the incident to security officers because she thought it
was useless.

"What's the use of reporting the case. I won't get my money
back," she said.

She said two of her friends, Wati and Tuti, had also lots
their wallets on the same train. -- Antara
