Jakarta - Does the airport provide any kind of baggage keeping service for transit passangers wishing to leave airport for 12hrs

Hi everyone
I'm in a kind of dilemma here
I'm flying from Dubai to Sydney with Garuda Indonesia and their is a 14 hour transit time (8am till 10pm).
I really want to exit the airport and tour Jakarta and do some shopping but i was advised by Garuda Indonesia that i have to check out my luggage and re-check-in if i exit the airport

Now i have 2 options:
1- Just exit the airport without checking out my luggage and if asked why i did that when i re enter the airport, just say i didn't know and nobody told me

2- Look for a cheap baggage keeping service at the airport if it exists

I have about 20kg of luggage already and i really don't wanna be carrying the luggage around with me in Jakarta

Is anyone aware if a service like this exist or have any suggestions .

Your help will be mostly appreciated

Thanks

    Not sure if this applies to Indonesia, but last time I was in Bangkok for transit after we checked out and then back in again we were told we had to pay the airport tax.

    We were only told about this when we were about to board the plane haha. The check in guys didnt tell us. Usually they can waive it but in our case the boss was there and didnt allow the worker to do it.
