In a surprising twist of fate, robbers returned the items they stole from their unsuspecting victim. Even more baffling is the fact that the criminals allegedly also compensated the woman for the injuries she sustained during her nightmare ordeal.
A recent post by TikTokker @noria_p on the popular video and picture sharing platform left netizens stunned.
The woman captioned her post: “POV: You got robbed at gunpoint, and they later bring your stuff back and compensate you for hurting you.”
