Akiko a Japanese tourist came back on Sunday night her backpack fell out of a bus ? No valuables lost it just contained clothes. I told her that most Malaysians are kind and that I'm 80% sure someone has found her backpack, but it might be slow coming back to her cos of bureaucracy. She took a bus from KL to Kuantan to Mersing 11.30 pm Saturday night. When she arrived at 6 am the under the bus luggage door lock had broken and it was open. There had been 2 backpacks inside, but there was only one now. The driver recalled that he felt it come open during the ride and passengers recalled cars behind flashing the lights. At the rest stop (Keratong) he noticed one backpack was missing. She took the bus back at 11.30 am , but didn't spot her backpack. Some kind of insurance is included in the ticket price, but of course she prefers her own clothes back. I told her to contact the Japanese embassy for advice first . And suggested she might want to make up reward posters. Of course it might have rolled into the grass. It was a burgundy backpack and she didn't have her name written on it, or have any ID inside except for photos and Japanese dictionary. She just got back from the embassy which couldn't suggest anything. Monday .. a bit of a runanround find the tourist Police wait wait wait (next to KLCC now) and got a police report, but it appears they don't have a computerised lost and found database. |

So Tuesday she's gone out to check the road. etc Meanwhile the bus company asked us to come to a meeting the the chief. In the event the secretary tried to palm us off with a 300Rm insurance payout. (She wasn't even aware how it was lost ..she just assummed it was stolen off the seat.) Since they are entirely negligent this is not fair.
Dissatified with the bus company doing nothing to find the bag and refusing to help hire a car on the Sunday before, Akiko wanted to go back to the road one more time. So Thursday we went to see the local police to check that the backpack wasn't sitting in the corner of their office etc and to put up a few posters. If there was a lost and found in the muslim newspaer I would place an ad.
