You cannot expect that everyone will welcome you kindly. It's just how it is in the world. Curiosity can sometimes lead to disaster. The fact that your wallet, watch, and "chapstick" were taken from you, is irrelevent when you could have lost something more valuable. I myself travel to very remote areas, and I praise you for exploring. But my advice to you is to do a little homework before going somewhere you don't know and not to be resentful and disrespectful when things are taken from you.

it seems that the camera man escaped cheap! he tried to hide the camera just only not to pay little amount of money. It's not more than 2 or 3 dollars. but he even tried to avoid this!!
