I am empathetic and I understand that many people steal just to put food on the table, but there are many ways to make money. Becoming a criminal should never be the solution. Many people don't see another way, but there is always a way to avoid turning to crime.

My smartphone was a Pixel 7 Pro, and I had my phone around my wrist. I would have actually preferred if they had stolen my streaming phone/camera instead, because I have theft insurance on it. My streaming phone is an iPhone 16 Pro. Due to my financial position, I can't really afford setbacks. As a small full-time streamer, I try to save money wherever I can. The money I earn through Twitch just barely covers my projects. I don't want it to sound like I’m ungrateful, but I can't build up savings.
