Glitter bombing

In December 2018 YouTube content-creator Mark Rober built a glitter bomb that was combined with regular emissions of an aerosolized fart odor to trap package thieves, specifically porch pirates and car thieves.

According to him, he was inspired to use engineering to punish porch pirates after he was the victim of package theft.

He used 4 phones with cameras and a GPS device so he could record the thief, upload the data, and recover the package.

He then sent about 10 out and showed the footage from the packages on his YouTube channel, with the numerous swear words shouted in surprise bleeped out.
