We all know our Balinese friends live on a pittance and have very little to their name. We on the other hand can be very materialistic and don't value our possessions in some cases (mobiles, cameras and even cash).
Have you thought, first of the temptation you leave a very low paid worker when you leave your valuables laying around the room, but more importantly how uneasy they can find it when people leave valuables around...because in most cases, if something goes missing the cleaner is going to be the first one blamed and could well lose their job!!
So my thoughts are... lock up your valuables for not only your protection (wherever you are) but also the Balinese workers sake :)
