The video has sparked a mix of reactions online, with some praising the thieves' skill and others expressing concern about the security lapse.

One user commented, "Their actions clearly suggest this isn’t the first time — they’ve done this before, and they know exactly what they’re doing." Another user joked, "Wow, nothing says 'I am a mastermind' like swapping a gold ring for a fake one in a shop full of cameras."
