We would like to respond to the reader's letter (TEMPO, February 5, 2001 edition) regarding the claim over the stolen Toyota Kijang under the name of Ginoto Sutikno, the holder of police no. ZI PMV 1020177.

It is not true that our rejection was based on preposterous reasons. The three suspects involved in the car theft—two of them were Ginoto Sutikno's domestic helpers—have been arrested by the police in Sumbang, Banyumas, Central Java
