Twitteratis instantly took to the comments section to share similar incidents faced by them. @scaria_pa says “YO, wtf, the same happened to me about a month ago, my phone got snatched!”. @Adithpodhar replies “Thieves broke into my parked car by smashing one of the door windows on a busy road and took my laptop bag from the backseat. I had just stepped out for 30 mins and hence left my bag in the car. Never doing tht again ever in Bangalore”.
Been there, felt that. Got my Beats headphones snatched by a couple of guys on an unregistered scooter 3 years ago. Since then, I even hold my phone tightly while using it in public because of the fear of getting snatched.

My iPhone 12 Pro Max got snatched infront of an IT park at Bommanhalli at 10:30 p.m. I went to the constable who was at the signal, and instead of taking action, he replied, “Why are you using the phone on the streets? I lost there.”
