Thievery in the Cathedral

Thievery in the Cathedral

BOGOR: A churchgoer lost her bag which was left unattended on
Wednesday morning as she went to the altar to receive communion.

The victim, who asked for anonymity, said she normally went to
the Cathedral in Bogor on her own, and was surprised to find that
her bag, containing her wallet, a cellular phone and personal
items, was missing. She said that she often left her bag on the
seat when she went to receive holy communion and so far nothing
bad happened.

One of the congregation told her that she saw a woman taking
her bag, but she had no idea that the woman was a thief.

When the victim reported the crime to the priest, she learned
that a high school student had suffered a similar experience.--JP
