earlier message, and as I haven't yet commenced my new life, here's a couple of observations.
1) You will not get any results from any police or otherwise on this sort of thing in Australia.
2) Posting the kids supposed name is a dangerous game. If he has given a false address, how do you know the name is right?
3) Ketut "treasured" his bike.....yet he rented it out to a 17 year old without sighting passport or IDL.......Ketut needs to be coached that all Bules are not neccessarily straight up (If he doesn't already know that)
4) The offer of someone on here to get something on record on the boy is also dangerous.....the wrong kid could be hassled and "refused entry pending payment of a fine" as a result.
In this case, the horse has bolted, so forget about it.
Concentrate on how to assist Ketut in re-establishing himself with a bike, and work on alerting him to the ways of the world....even in Bali.
