She said the robbers were bold taking her husband’s phone, but then giving it back because it wasn’t to their liking.
“They basically looked at that phone and was like ‘Oh, that’s an Android? We don’t want this. I thought it was an iPhone,’” she said.
Absolutely wild guess on this one, but if I had to:
The victims probably wanted to get the story out because of their frustration about getting robbed. Maybe they were asked what valuables were taken, so they listed out what items were taken and if there was any motive, and they might’ve said “they took my phone and tried to take my husband’s, but gave his phone back” and were asked why the robbers would give the phone back or asked about what was said.
