Ahmad Sahroni (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Of the many valuables looted from the house of inactive DPR member Ahmad Sahroni in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, there is one object that is considered the most vital: a bundle of land certificates. The document was lost with bags, watches, and collection dolls. However, in contrast to the stigma of looting which often ends in permanent losses, this time the story turns around.

A few days after the incident, residents began arriving at the North Jakarta Metro Police. One by one the items were returned, until a total of 32 items were recorded. There was no coercion, no intimidation, everything was done voluntarily.

"The items, including land certificates, were handed over directly by residents to the police. This shows extraordinary awareness," said North Jakarta Metro Police Criminal Investigation Unit Head, Kompol Onkoseno Gradiarso Sukahar.

The return moment became a symbol of improving relations between residents and the authorities. The police also restrained themselves, choosing to build soothing communication rather than a legal threat.

For Ahmad Sahroni's family, the attitude of residents is a form of social responsibility. Through the Chairperson of the Kebon Bawang LMK, Achmad Winarso, the family emphasized that they would not take legal action.

"The awareness to return it is much more valuable than just a legal process," he said.

This incident left a lesson that even in the midst of anger of the masses, there is still room for awareness and reconciliation. Goods do return, but more importantly, trust between residents, officials, and families is starting to recover.
