A public business and a fixed route are the two cheapest pieces of intelligence an attacker can get.
A Russian restaurant owner in Uluwatu, Bali was taken on the night of July 2 as he rode home from his own restaurant.
Two masked men in blocked his motorcycle, cuffed him with plastic restraints, covered his head, and drove him to a two-story building.
He was punched and kicked for close to 30 hours until he gave up the password to his crypto account. An estimated $4.9M to $5M was taken. They let him out in front of Udayana University Hospital in Jimbaran at 4 AM on July 4.

The stop happened at a junction on that route, around 9:35 PM, on a deserted stretch with almost no camera coverage.
No arrests so far.
They took his Xiaomi phone at the roadside. His villa key was sitting on the motorcycle's dashboard, so they used it to walk into his villa and take a second phone, the one he used to reach his crypto funds.
His villa CCTV was dead from a short circuit and had been before the night they came.
