@nobile nah I think that situation was of an abusive couple, if it was a robber the guy would have taken her things before anyone alerted the authorities. But yeah, it was a couple, and people dont want to bother with things like that, especially in asian countries, since its supposed to be a private matter between couples and you have to save face in public, but sometimes people see this happen and dont do anything. Simply put, the bystander effect; if no one does anything, then no ones will intervene.
