Exactly, I've had same thoughts going in my head, the theives would've taken his jewelries, valueable items or even fiat money but they chose to beat him out of his consciousness and ask him to transfer his Bitcoin

They took everything of value:

A car and other valuable items were also taken.

Why is the Toblerone robbery event only now reaching us? It surprises me that news about this didn't come out earlier this year.

the details were not released till one of those involved was convicted, that was back in 2023, now the news resurfaced because of the bitcoin being seized, but no at the time of the robbery the detail about the beating with the Toblerone bar was not known.

Nice reminder op. I have seen a couple of posts about $5 wrench attacks on the forum too.

There is a list tracking some of those:

of course incomplete as a lot ofvictims don't go to the police or the police don't make them public but it's still growing
