Taxi flees with my belongings

Taxi flees with my belongings

From Pos Kota

On Saturday, Oct. 31, 1994 I arrived at Soekarno-Hatta airport from Tokyo by Philippine Airlines at about 8 p.m. After clearing my luggage, I took a taxi to Terminal A to buy a Sempati Air ticket to Manado for the following day. It was a President taxi. Unfortunately the ticket office had already closed. Then I moved to Bouraq, only to find it had closed too. So I hurried back to Terminal E.

I asked the driver to wait while I booked a ticket. It took me around five minutes. When I went back to the taxi, which had parked not far from the gate, I was shocked to find that it had gone. I reported the incident to the airport Police Office. The taxi had fled with my clothes and electronic appliances worth about Rp 5 million.
