Viewers quickly flooded the comments with their takes on the shocking situation.
“What is happening to us as a society?” One user commented.

Many people have also commented that phones are essentially useless to thieves and that intervening with robberies is against the policy of most phone companies.
Someone commented: “As someone who’s worked in wireless sales for years I can attest that those phones are glorified paperweights. They have no use whatsoever.”
Another said: “I’ve worked in wireless sales and intervening with robberies is against policy and for your own good. The goal is to comply and let them leave asap.”
