  "account": "A man was captured on camera allegedly shaking a claw machine in a store located in the Yishun area. In response to his behavior, the operator of the claw machine put up a video showcasing the man's back view while he was inside the store. It seemed that this was not a one-time occurrence, as the operator, Toys Clawlector, claimed it had \"at least 5 videos\" of the man damaging its machines at their Junction Nine store. The incident in question took place on November 10 at approximately 8:16pm, according to the attached surveillance footage. In the video, the man can be seen shaking the claw machine, at one point causing the lights on the machine to go out, a phenomenon that occurs whenever a machine is tampered with or shaken too forcefully. Following his interaction with the machine, the man left the premises. However, when he turned to exit the store, it became apparent that a girl had been standing directly in front of him, facing the control panel of the machine. The claw machine operator expressed their frustration in the Instagram post, stating, \"Just because we keep quiet doesn't mean we don't know.\" They also noted that the man had been a customer of theirs \"since day one\" and warned him that he had gone too far. The operator informed their followers that they would \"just lodge a police report for vandalism\" in regard to the situation. Mothership has reached out to Toys Clawlector for further details on the matter.",
