we all assume that with things being the way they are in Bali Packer would not have his guns returned or if they were, at a price. Last year my laptop was stolen and I thought I would have more success reporting the theft to the tourist police on Jl Pantai Kuta rather than the regular police. I was there for 90 minutes completing a statement and waiting and waiting. Eventually two of the police took me into a room and suggested that I pay a small fortune for the police report that would help me with my insurance claim. I told them I would refuse to pay anything because they were ruining a place like Bali for visitors with their graft and corruption and that tourists have no respect for them. My comments seemed to do the trick and as a "special favour" to me they would give me the report for nothing. I wonder what Packer, being a millionare is being asked to pay.
