It's hard to be a robber when you don't have opposable thumbs.You can't hold guns, or navigate a cash register or safes - even

door handles pose a considerable obstacle. Some non-opposable-thumb-possessing creatures would take this as a sign

muzzle. "May hurt anyway."

It appears Theo and Abigail are being held at claw-point.
