"The fact that nobody moved to stop a thief is a sad indication of the morals of our society today. That only one guy stood up after and offered help is good on him, but it would have been better if someone had tripped the thief."

In reality, people's reactions aren't usually that fast. The thief was acting on a pre-determined plan, he knew he was going to snatch and run. Everyone else, even Kieran, would have taken a little time to realise what was happening. Occasionally someone does react fast enough (and too fast for the thought "Is he armed") but that's the exception.
