This is happening also on the beach in Legian.
Last week my son nearly had his pockets lightened by a boy who was part of the group of kids that hang around Legian with those bracelet things.
Fortunately he was on to what was happening and told the kid to get his hands away.
The following afternoon we saw the same group of the kids trying to get their hands close to the pockets of two young visitors (maybe around 10 - 12 years old). My husband called out to them to let them know what was happening and copped some very colourful language from the Indonesian kids for his intervention.
