| Many thefts occur on Chater Road, even if it is packed with people on Sundays |
A Filipina domestic helper set to go home for good on Aug 2
became the latest victim of light-fingered thieves in Central.
A post on the Mission for Migrant Workers Facebook page late on Sunday, Jul 25, said migrant worker Rizalyn M. Caro lost her bag containing cash and valuable documents in front of St George’s building on Chater Road earlier that day.

Among the items in her bag was $12,000 cash, her Philippine passport, HK ID card, HSBC card, Octopus card, Cebu Pacific air ticket, a sealed letter from Immigration which she is supposed to hand in at the Hong Kong International Airport, two wallets, one bag and T-shirts.
The appeal first asked anyone “who mistakenly took the bag” to return it immediately to the Central Police Station or to the office of the Mission. Anyone with information was asked to call or send a message to an indicated number.

But an update to the post said Caro’s bag was found along with her wallet, both of which had been emptied. There was no information as to where the missing items had been dumped after the thief emptied them of their contents.
Caro is just appealing to anyone who could give back all the important documents that she needs so she can go home as scheduled, a week from now.

This is not the first time that migrant workers have lost their entire bags and other valuables to thieves on Chater Road, a favorite hang-out of Filipinos in Hong Kong.

Despite the hundreds of people who line up the busy street on Sundays, several thefts have occurred there, prompting mainstays like members of Unifil-Migrante and the Mission to keep reminding people not to leave their bags unattended.
