I continue to like seeing thieves get punked, but also continue to wish that he did worse to them. I also continue to be disgusted by what the audio picks up the thieves saying. This year you've got a little kid saying "It's those *expletive deleted*ing youtubers" to his mom, and calling the boxes a scam. Because thieves getting a comeuppance is a "scam" as if they are the victims.

Ugh. The dregs of society.

Since politicians basically identify with criminals, there are laws to protect the bad guys.

There are laws that prohibit "mechanisms" that are likely to cause death or serious bodily harm - and I understand that.

But if the box were spraying something more persistent like skunk screen and indelible dye rather than fart spray and glitter, I'd be OK with that.

That urine concentrate that hunters use to mask their scent would be a good substitute.

Despite the old proverb, perhaps there's actually more honor among thieves?

That is certainly one of the points I was obliquely making.

Place the glitter bomb on the porch of a neighbor you don't like - problem solved.  (Two problems solved, actually.   >:D   )
