What did X users say about this theft video?“They don’t look like random thieves; they must have been following them from the bank itself and took their chance when they got the opportunity,” shared an X user. Another added, “Stupid people who don’t know how to secure precious things. Will lose one way or another. Who would hang a purse like that if it had so much gold.” A third posted, “Leaving gold like this or even a bag like this in the open without any supervision, what result do you expect?” A fourth wrote, “It was clearly the fault of the couple. How could they be so careless to keep that outside? The wife was even more careless and the robber was following them. He knew what he wanted to do.” The bag containing the jewellery also contained a mobile phone and bank documents. The thief who stole it fled the scene hopping into a vehicle.
