Default Do not cross this man...

This man was tired of packages being stolen from his porch, apparently a growing problem in the US, so he decided to do something about it.

He's an engineer, a good one. Here's a video of what he built:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoxh...ature=youtu.be


If you haven't got time to watch it (11 minutes).

1) It has a motor that when triggered spins out a ton of glitter.
2) It has 4 cameras to film the reaction.
3) It has an aerosol can of fart spray which has a motor to release 5 sprays every few seconds
4) It has GPS tracking and an accelerometer (so it knows when it's been picked up and moved) and it publishes its location.
5) It uploads its videos to the cloud in case it cannot be recovered.

Fortunately, the boss is in a meeting. That caused too much hilarity in the office

Great gadget, but I wouldn't have used glitter but some of the stuff they use to contaminate banknotes when cash points are robbed.
Or a lump of C4, then they wouldn't be stealing anymore.
Can't believe how many thieving gypsies stole this bait package.
However, as this bloke was such a skilled engineer, why couldn't he build a thief proof mail drop box?

He was much too nice with just a mass of shiny glitter.

I was thinking that a mini bottle rocket full of 2-butene-thiol (skunk odour) would be a much more appropriate payload.

That would be totally useless. The kind of scrotes who do this smell so bad to begin with they would see skunk odour as a perfume.

Unfortunately not true. Seems to be an epidemic across the US and quite normal looking people do it. No idea how they smell, to be fair - youtube hasn't got smellovision yet.

Nice effort, would have been funnier if it was rigged to fling **** though.
Even rabbit droppings or similar who would want that left in their car/crib.
