I will say that he was doing this due to unemployment or he may be lazy to find a job. Nowadays, there is high inflation rate and everyone is involved in bad things; robbing and stealing. In our country mobile snatching is on peak, my brother's mobile phone was also stolen on gun point.
I totally agree with you my friend, but the inflation is affecting every middle class man. So I would say, he was just a lazy type. Thank you for stopping by
