Refleksi: Apa saja yang tidak bisa dicuri atau dikorupsi di Indonesia?
http://www.thejakartapost.com/detailnational.asp?fileid=20060914.G01&irec=0 Earthquake monitoring gear stolen in West Java Yuli Tri Suwarni, The Jakarta Post, Bandung Earthquake monitoring equipment worth about Rp 100 million (US$10,526) installed at Mount Guntur in Garut regency, West Java, has been stolen, thereby halting quake monitoring activities, an official said Wednesday. Surono, head of the Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center, said that his office had reported the theft to the security authorities, the 13th such theft to take place on the mount. He explained that the stolen equipment consisted of, among others things, a seismometer, battery, solar panel and voltage control oscillator. "We urge the thieves to return the equipment as it will be useless for them, while we are badly in need of the equipment to monitor the activities of the mount in the interests of the public," Surono said. Surono further said that such thefts had taken place several times, and he would intensify security there by ordering the four security officers to be more vigilant. Previously the thieves just took the solar panel and its battery which produces power to generate the seismometer, he said. "We have actually installed the equipment using concrete construction, but it turns out the thieves are cleverer," Surono said, adding that the equipment was installed far from a track used by local people and climbers to prevent theft. The stolen set is one of four sets of such equipment to monitor seismic activity on Mount Guntur, he said. Mas Atje Purbawinata, head of the western part of the mountain monitoring office, disclosed that the theft would prevent observers from determining the epicenter of a possible earthquake. Mount Guntur, which is 2,800 meters in height, last erupted in 1847 and after being inactive for a long time its volcanic activities began again in February this year. The seismic activities, which take place two to three time per week, have increased to eight times per day, but the Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center has not raised its alert status. "We will still closely monitor its development as we are concerned that the mount's volcanic activities may intensify, threatening the lives of the people living of the mount's slopes in the many recreation areas," Atje added.
