Compliance with ethical standards: Before the experiment was conducted, the Ethics Committee for Legal and Criminological Research (CERCO) of the Vrije Universiteit (VU) was consulted and they provided a positive advice. This study observed participants without their knowledge to capture potentially criminal behavior, and therefore no informed consent was obtained. However, a strict data protection protocol was followed to protect the participants’ privacy.
