A Filipina domestic worker got off with a relatively light sentence after admitting to taking a rucksack left in the lobby of their residential building in Wanchai by a Korean tenant.
Wilma A.
Ganzaga, 55, was meted a two months’ sentence, suspended for 18 months, after she
pleaded guilty to a charge of theft before Eastern Principal Magistrate Ivy
Chui today, Monday.
She admitted
taking a backpack left in the lobby of Vincent Mansion on Star Street, Wan Chai
by Park Soojin on Sept. 28, 2023.

The bag
contained one laptop, one computer mouse, one pair of shoes, one pair of
shorts, four charging cables, one charger, four earphones, one pouch, one
recycle bag, one thumb drive and one top.
The court heard
that a video recording taken in the lobby of the building on the day of
incident which was viewed together by Park and Ganzaga's employer showed the Filipina taking
the bag, which was later found inside her room.
Ganzaga told
police she thought the bag had been discarded.
In mitigation,
the defense lawyer said Ganzaga was retained by her employer, who even wrote
two letters to the magistrate in support of the helper.
