In Reply to: outdoor bathroom in Kuta posted by kenboy on Friday, 1. April 2005 at 12:40 Bali Time:
Many of the hotel thefts that happen in Lombok happen to rooms with outdoor bathrooms.
Be sure that you always lock the connecting door between the bedroom & the bathroom. A thief can get over the wall into your bathroom and (1) Be left out of sight to try & break into your bedroom.Usuallly the connecting doors have very little security. (2) you left the connecting door open so the theif jsut walks right on in & helps himself.
I loved the idea of outdoor bathrooms but the security risk is why I did not build them myself.
