What kind of robbers were these that allowed him to pick up his phone when he dropped it?

Exactly. I had a woman tug at my heart strings saying her phone was dead and needed to call her babysitter because she was running late to go home. Dialed a number for her, then poof she was gone.

She charged $5k to a credit card attached to my phone.

How though? With Apple Pay I still need to use face id even if my phone is unlocked. Is Android pay different?

Nah, I have Samsung and every banking / credit / finance app I have requires my fingerprint to log in, and Samsung pay requires it for each transaction, and I'm pretty sure my banking apps, including Zellle, require it for any outgoing transaction even after logging in.

If someone sets it up to bypass basic security on finance apps, doesn't know how to make an "emergency" call by dialing from the lock screen, then actually hands a stranger their unlocked phone, I'd say $5000 is a good cost for an important life lesson.
