Guy sets glitter bomb trap for package thieves.

[bcl05]

I love this so, so much.

 

We get a monthly box from amazon of dog poop bags, paper towels, and my daughter's favorite oatmeal.  Whole thing doesn't cost much, but its a big and impressive box.  Had it stolen once.  I wonder what those thieves thought...

Diapers, wipes, and dog food.

I wish I had some engineering and science skills.  I'd love to do stuff like that.

 

 

 

Why go through all the trouble when you can keep it simple.  Do you have a cat or dog?

I wanted to believe. 😢

I'll never trust anybody again.

I had that feeling and even tried to look for things myself (namely the car interiors because i was thinking it was the same car) but I couldn’t find anything

 

id make a terrible detective

 

also it seemed weird it went from “I had one package stollen one time ” to “look at all these people strealing my package!”

 

Also, has anyone noticed the video has been edited? There’s a few clips missing that we’re originally in the video

On Thursday, after the photo evidence began to simmer to the top of social media's consciousness, Rober tweeted that he had removed about one and a half minutes of the video after he "was presented with information that caused me to doubt the veracity of 2 of the 5 reactions in the video."

I still think this is hilarious. When I was watching it, I kept thinking something isn’t adding up. Mostly the reactions of some of the perps. But I figured I should just sit back and laugh that a guy spent 150k to get people back for stealing a package that cost $50.

I'm disappointed that real thieves didn't get glittered.  Still an awesome watch.  

[Spaceman Spiff]

One of my initial reactions was that this guy lives in an area where this happens all too frequently.  I've never lived in a place where packages get stolen that frequently, it didn't seem to be real from that perspective.  I'm sure it's a problem in some places but how many people picked up packages in that original video?  5 or 6?

 

Either way, doesn't ruin the video for me, it was fun and a pretty cool engineering feat.

Hopefully this year's version is more real than fake

90K packages are stolen daily in just NYC alone.

**** porch pirates.

[Mr. Sinister]

In my old neighborhood in Waldorf dudes were actually stalking delivery vehicles and stealing the packages in a coordinated effort, before they were all taken to jail.

 

**** is crazy.

My son watches Mark Rober, that guy does some really cool stuff.

I like Mark Rober, but at this point he's just chasing clicks.  I mean, good for him, make that money my dude, but the novelty has worn off for me.  Let me know when he adds a small amount of C4.

Or at least an exploding dye packet like cash from a stickup

Not really.  He's got 20 million subscribers.  He doesn't need to chase clicks.  BTW, he's not just using these glitter bombs on porch pirates, he's using them to get phone scammers as well:
