You guys are just tap-dancing around the problem.

VX instead of fart spray.

Replace the fart spray with doe estrous.

I would have used OC spray. And 2 cans of it. Also mix some powdered ghost peppers in with the glitter. It really is a shame that vigilante justice in circumstances like this is so frowned upon. In most places the porch pirates just get a slap on the wrist IF they get caught

Powdered cayenne pepper mixed with the glitter along with a co2 cylinder to broadcast it further. Would make whatever environment it’s deployed in uncomfortable for a long time. Big bonus if it’s opened in the car. It might be months before the piece of shit thieves stop getting random watery eyes or irritated breathing.

I believe toner powder would be pretty diabolical.

Maybe put in some NFA part in the package? That way when the perp took it, his possession would make it a felony.

Prosecutors might not go after package-pilferers but photo evidence of a NFA part being stolen/possessed might get their interest.

Yeah, all fun aside (and my hat is way, way off to the inventor Big Grin) you have restrictions on what could be done legally, and a very good expectation that the perp knows where the package originated. Depending on what the package did, there could be higher legal penalties for that than package-pilfering.

Itching powder, super fine cayenne powder (or dried OC powder), and glitter.

For the sequenced spray, the stinkiest, oil based (so it can't be wiped off easily, product allowed.

And a tamper seal so if a curious person stats to play with it, the sequenced spray is continuous until exhausted.

Perfect for a vehicle or house and guaranteed not to induce laughs from the thief.

I kind of like the adhesive idea as well...particularly in vehicles with cloth seats...

Update: some of the reactions of people who "found" the package may have been faked.

https://www.sltrib.com/news/20...t-byu-grads-glitter/

Turns out that part of the incredibly popular glitter-bomb-with-fart spray video was faked, and the BYU grad who invented it has apologized and removed about 90 seconds of the footage.

Mark Rober, who came up with the device he placed inside a fake package left to tempt thieves, said he was unaware that two of the five reaction shots were not genuine. In a statement posted on Twitter, he said that he had offered money to people who were willing to put the package in front of their homes and retrieve the device after it was taken and dumped; that a “friend of a friend” agreed to help; and that — after online criticism questioned the video’s veracity — he learned that in two of the five reaction shots in the original video, “the ‘thieves’ were actually acquaintances of the person helping me.”

The video, which has been been shortened from more than 11 minutes to 9:40, has been viewed more than 42 million times on YouTube as of Friday morning.

Rober, who graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in mechanical engineering, got a master’s degree from USC and spent nine years working at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, apologized profusely and said that he had been duped.

“I'm really sorry about this,” he wrote. “Ultimately, I am responsible for the content that goes on my channel and I should have done more here. I can vouch that the reactions were genuine when the package was taken from my house.”

Rober said he’s “especially gutted because so much thought, time, money and effort when into building the device and I hope this doesn’t just taint the entire effort as ‘fake.’ It genuinely works ... and we’ve made all the code and build info public.

“Again, I’m sorry for putting something up on my channel that was misleading. That is totally on me and I will take all necessary steps to make sure it won’t happen again.”

I was getting that impression watching the video that some of this was staged.

Anyone who just got glitter bombed would have stomped the shit out of that thing or thrown it in the road, not gently laid it on the ground in an empty parking garage.
