Screwed by modern technology again

We live in an age flooded with viral content and so many people vying for a bit of Internet fame that they try to concoct increasingly absurd videos which sometimes blur the lines between reality and fiction. This unfortunately makes our BS detectors so sensitive that we can easily dismiss actual outlandish events as hoaxes.

Such a case happened last October in which a team of bumbling thieves stole a smartphone that was in the middle of a livestream and broadcasted their entire crime to the world. Honestly, “bumbling” is putting it mildly, because the criminals were so accidentally well-documented by themselves that the video almost looked professionally made. As a result, for nearly half a year, the victim had to deal with countless accusations that the whole thing was a hoax.
