JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): In an apparent case of identity theft, a family in Tamansari, West Jakarta, have just learned they are recorded as the owners of several luxury cars and that substantial taxes are owed on one of the vehicles. The only problem is that they live in a narrow alley through which no cars can pass.

The family was made aware of the fact after officials from the West Jakarta Vehicle Document Registration Center (Samsat) and the Jakarta Tax and Levy Agency (BPRD) came to their house to collect the overdue taxes.
