Take care of your belongings, lock up valuables, and maintain a low profile as a tourist. Be aware of possible pickpocketing, and use ATMs at a bank with security. Lock doors and windows when leaving your accommodations. The Kuta and Legian areas have the highest crime rates, while Ubud is one of the safest locations.
Having a bag snatched while driving on a scooter is a commonly reported crime. Try to avoid driving alone on a scooter late at night, and lock up bags in the under seat compartment.
