Very interesting to observe. The second guy looks like he was in the other store, and walks out and signals that cars, and then walks by the first guy. And looks back and probably says something to the first guy. The car then honks the horn and the first guy enters. The car honks then horn again when it's time to hurry up and go. The Indians saw the robbery. Hopefully they immediately called the police.
