A motorcycle theft occurred during the 56th Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur’an (MTQ) event in Tangerang Regency, held in the BSD area, Pagedangan District, on Thursday night.

The victim was an event attendee. A Honda Scoopy motorcycle with license plate B-6345-JKG went missing while parked on the sidewalk of Jalan BSD Raya Pusat, which was designated as a parking area for event visitors.

The victim’s husband explained that the theft happened after his wife was about to go home after attending the Tangerang Regency MTQ event on Thursday night.

“Suddenly, I was informed by my wife that her motorcycle was gone,” he explained at the location.

He stated that the theft was first discovered at 10:00 PM local time when his wife went to retrieve her motorcycle from the event parking area.

“My wife had parked alongside two of her friends; the motorcycle was positioned in front of a tree with the handlebars locked. When she wanted to leave, her motorcycle was gone, even though her two friends’ motorcycles were still there,” he clarified.

He expressed disappointment with the event’s security personnel. Therefore, he intended to report the loss to the authorities.

“After this, I want to file a loss report at the Pagedangan Police Station, to make an insurance claim, because the motorcycle is still under a loan and is only one year old,” he concluded.

First held officially in 1940, it has grown into a major cultural and religious event held at various regional and national levels, fostering unity and Islamic scholarship. Today, it remains a significant tradition that celebrates spiritual devotion, vocal artistry, and deep knowledge of the holy text.
