Three days ago the ATM's at our local 7/11 (tuju (7) sebelas (11)) were robbed. It happened early in the morning and the thieves made off with 500,000,000 Rupiah. Quite a sum of money. About $64,102 CAD! Apparently there were guns involved. Just to be on the safe side, the police arrested all the store workers in the area, all the angkot drivers and all those walking around the area at the time. Just to be safe... Anyways, today it was all still closed. But it turned out to be a good thing for us as it forced us to go to a different bank machine. I managed to find one that will let us take out even more money than the ones that were robbed! This is very exciting as we pay $5 each time we withdraw funds out here. So there was a silver lining to this whole event...
