The last sentence could much more easily be fixed with commas; for example:
Robbers, who steal chocolate bunnies rapidly, attract the outrage of onlookers.
Or Robbers, who steal chocolate bunnies, rapidly attract the outrage of onlookers.
And of course if its modifying the robbery, you could change it to Robbers who rapidly steal chocolate bunnies attract the outrage of onlookers.

This isn't exactly the same as what the video explains, but there are sentences that can be made so that placement of a comma or period decides the meaning. These sentences are made to demonstrate the importance of punctuation. One example is this:
Execute him now you shall not wait for me.

The title can actually have more meanings as its unclear what is meant with with. It could be that the town was robbed by the robber using a chocolate bunny or that they did it together with it.

If I were a detective, this would be the most helpful YouTube video I would have seen! Even though I'm not a detective at the moment, it's still intriguing!

The phrase Town with world's largest chocolate bunny robbed by thief still leaves ambiguity as to whether the town was robbed or the town had its bunny robbed

Since the online classes started my English teacher started to use video like this to replace our lectures. I never enjoyed lectures as much as now
