You say "if a local gets caught pick-pocketing by police he can expect to get 2 yrs in jail as a result." If onyone (local or foreign) is caught stealing he/she can expect to be beaten to death. The Balinese don't like criminals.
That's why Bali is different from the Caribbean, and why people feel happy here.
