Should have used shrapnel. I guess the glitter will do! Well executed nevertheless.

That would have been so much better, if instead of a 'glitter bomb', he had that set up with a claymore, or other frag device. Well done, but with the time and money invested, an antipersonnel device would have been so much more entertaining.

Package thieves
That was brilliant...but an extra large fluorescent orange or yellow dye packet would be even better.

I'd like to see some 3M Spray 77 aerosol glue tied in with that rig to help the glitter set more permanently.

Great video. Thank for sharing.
Bear spray would have also been a nice touch.

Things would stay pretty even for the ones where you have GPS co-ordinates of their house and video of them in action. Escalation can be reciprocated....

X2. Better than skunk essence there is a stink bait used for calling in coyotes from a long distance away. It is called "10 Dead Horses". Takes a good week or two to get that stink out of your nostrils. The glands from 10 big weasels would be another good stink.
Thanks for posting the vids. They are good entertainment. I have seen where a few home owners are wrapping up their rancid garbage like parcels and leaving them where opportunistic thieves take them.

Hmm good one but unfortunately thieves have rights... in high school someone kept breaking in to my locker and stealing my things. They knew how to pick locks and who ever it was liked to smoke so I took cigarette removed the tobacco and packet it with crushed up match heads and repacked it back with tobacco. So sure enough the thieve broke into my locker “again” but this time instead of stealing my Sony Walkman, cd’s and casette tapes cigarette packs and other valuables he stole my one cigarette that I thoughtfully made for him.
So it turns out that our thieve went to light up his special cigarette in the smoke pit where all the cool kids hanged out, guess after about his 2nd or 3rd puff he got a lung full of sulpher... I didn’t see it but I sure heard about how he looked like an ass in front of all the cool preppy kids. But unfortunately for me one of the teachers seen it too and the thieve ratted me out, said that I gave him the cigarette. Long story short the school principal didn’t like it either and I think that’s when I got kicked out of that school... ... ...
years later later I seen that thieve at the bus stop he came up to me and shook my hand like I was somebody important, maybe I changed his life for the better and thought him a powerful lesson that is “don’t #£¥#ing steal”

Cool video. Thieves would definitely think twice before stealing another package.

As well as something that stinks, and is hard to remove.

Mine had pressurized House of Colors blue candy concentrate in it. Takes about 2 weeks to wear off the skin. Too bad actual dye packs are illegal for the average person. Never did find out who took the box though.

Exactly! That's why you put it on the porch of the neighbour from Hell who lives in your neighbourhood. Two birds, one stone.
