I am very sorry to hear this has happened to you. It has unfortunately been going on for a very very long time and also happened to someone I love dearly about 20 years ago and she was very lucky she was not hurt as they actually slashed the strap of her bag from her body. However it is quite sad to think that you think it may have been javanese that did this. I am guessing you have been told this by balinese as you state you did not get a description and balinese people, generally speaking of course, blame javanese for everything. It could be anybody from any of the many Indonesian islands that come to bali however it could also be balinese. People need to be aware that balinese from different areas of bali, do the same sorts of things. This is all very very unfortunate for you and others it has happened too and I wish you well and all the best. I hope your medical insurance is paid.
