Elderly Brebes parking attendant gets umrah trip for foiling theft
The owner of the Rp3,6 miliar also said he was still panicking when he first handed Kusriyati just Rp100 ribu in thanks.
An elderly parking attendant in Brebes, Kusriyati, received an umrah trip after helping thwart the theft of Rp3,6 miliar from a car. The gift was given by the owner of the money, Kliwon Alwawan, when he visited Kusriyati's home on Thursday, June 18. The theft happened on Monday, June 15, when the suspect broke the window of a parked car. Kusriyati shouted for help when she saw the act. The suspect managed to take the money, but then fled and left it behind, so all the funds remained intact. The action by the woman, identified as a mother of five, went viral on social media. Kliwon said he initially gave her only Rp100 ribu as a token of thanks because he was still panicked and trembling after the incident. Kusriyati then divided that money among three of her co-workers, giving each Rp25 ribu.
