"The robots are constantly monitored and equipped with 12 cameras and two-way audio communication systems. Any improper conduct will be detected immediately. If an incident does occur with a Starship robot, one of our robot rescuers can respond quickly," robot builder Starship Technologies says regarding robot safety, adding that acts of vandalism or theft are reported to authorities.

cops give zero fucks when crimes effect everyday citizens.
Do you have holiday citizens in your country?
Sure do. Rich business owners.
How dare they expect cops to "take some investigative steps?" We'll arrest the criminals when you bring them in for us, along with evidence.
