Australian 'thieves' paraded with signs on Indonesian streets.

Man and woman undergo ‘walk of shame’ with signs around neck to discourage stealing on Gili Trawangan island off Lombok.

Media reports quoted a member of the force as saying they were caught on CCTV stealing a bicycle at around 1pm on Saturday. They were paraded on Sunday and have since left the island.

Gili Trawangan, the largest of the three Gili Islands near Bali, has a permanent population of about 800 people and is less than 2 miles long.

A man who works at a dive shop told the Guardian the duo had booked a diving trip and were doing the “walk of shame”, a punishment used regularly by local law enforcement.

He said the island was so small that there was no police presence. Residents had formed a local security force that was governed by authorities on the mainland and enforced the shaming penalty to discourage stealing.

island is less than two miles long and they need to steal a bycicle, where is this world coming to? In that light I doubt they intended to go on a diving trip, probably more like a floating trip.

I think everyone sporting a Hipster beard and wearing a baseball cap backwards should me made to walk the walk of shame....

They are clearly surrounded by police. Or did the local security force design their own uniforms, and create a complete hierarchical system and set of awards and medals mirroring that of the mainland police?

that was governed by authorities on the mainland

I guess that is what they mean. No police on the island but some came over from the mainland.
