      Ah, but they were wearing a bright yellow vest! Be honest - would you think twice if you saw someone wearing a safety yellow vest and carrying a drill? Apparently there was construction going on nearby as well, so the basket lift didn’t really stand out.

        True, but that still begs the question, why were they filming that person if they didn’t think something was going on? Not that I’d expect a bystander to throw themselves upon a thief, but interesting they still got away after being noticed and filmed during.

          Maybe the person wasn’t sure but suspected something so better catch it on camera just in case. These thieves were fast so don’t expect random people to react as you would with some time to think.

          They were in and out in 4 minutes. What do you find odd about it? I would expect people to have their phones out recording everything when visiting a place like this that many might only see once in a lifetime.

            I read 7 minutes, but nonetheless, I just found that recording odd. If you were a tourist there with your phone, you’d be recording the guy you assume to be doing maintenance on a case? I’m not suggesting some plot or conspiracy theory or batshit stuff like that. They stole the stuff and got away with it. I just found that video odd. Regardless, we weren’t there and can’t know all the ins and outs.
