I am curios as to how the robbers got to know about their bitcoin holdings. Did she discussed about bitcoin to anybody out there before that day?  or  the possibility of registering with a local exchange where they must have gotten her details to have tracked her to her home and attack her.

Looking at the image above as one of the things  used to carrying such act, I believe sometimes things happens maybe just to create an impression for people to see either in good or bad ways.  How are we sure that they intentionally did use the above equipment just to discredit the company for reasons best known to them alone. Some times people act in that way and they end up tarnishing the reputation of others at their own interest.

Privacy and security are very important. The woman could have discussed about bitcoin to someone or people which could be where those robbers know she has bitcoin. It could even be on social media that the robbers noticed that.

Also we should be careful of P2P transactions. Know when to use coin control and mixers. Most people do not know about this, making people to easily trace their coins.

Have different wallets. Feature like dures mode on Unstoppable wallet can be helpful.

If you had 23.5 Bitcoins (which was worth $144,017), you would spend $10,000 on home insurance, but it would be better to be private, as your friends and community should not know about your Bitcoin wealth.

Is a guy carrying a 4.5-kilogram chocolate bar following you? He might be innocent but he might also be after your Bitcoin!

Quote
The court heard last year that three men conducted the home invasion in the town of Blantyre, southeast of Glasgow, and one repeatedly beat a woman at the property with a personalized Toblerone bar and threw her into a bedroom.
The victim, who isn’t named for legal reasons, testified that he awoke to find a man standing over him with a machete before he was forced to transfer Bitcoin.
The man who beat the woman then made a “throat-slitting gesture” with the bloodied Toblerone bar before all three fled.

This thing takes a top place in weird crypto robberies for sure.
