especially the bit about "rescuing" your deposit from the bank.
I din't know which bank, or in whose name the deposit was being held, but this surprises me.
In my experience, doing anything at Indonesian banks when you are not there personally is extremely difficult, if not impossible.
This is the way it should be, and the same as elsewhere unless Powers of Attorney etc are in place.
I hope it all works out for you and I am sure you have taken all necessary precautions.
