greetings to all, when I read an online news I was surprised by this news
Caucasians rob Italian citizens of money and Bitcoin in Bali with a total value of IDR 5.8 M.
Then, one of the perpetrators took the victim's six cellphones and another cellphone containing the victim's bitcoin account by asking the victim for a password.
"And if they are not notified, then the perpetrator will kill the victim's wife by sticking a knife to the victim's wife's neck. And then the victim will tell the cellphone password," he said.(english translation )

first - How did the perpetrators knew that the victims has bitcoins (or possible altcoins)? how does some criminals can easily track Him when crypto owning is almost anonymous(if not completely yes)
Second - Why store crypto in His gadgets? when he can use a safest in which that is ledger wallets/offline wallets than he can hide somewhere more safer and not close to him always .
