So I stumbled across and I thought its pretty hilarious:
The holiday season is upon us, which means Jeff Bezos's elves are two-day shipping tons of toys and goodies across the land or whatever. It also means it's a great time for package thieves to start stealing boxes off of porches. But while most of us just whine about our missing mail to Amazon, an ex-NASA engineer named Mark Rober decided to harness the genius that helped build the Curiosity rover and take matters into his own hands.

On Monday, Rober posted a ten-minute video to YouTube mapping out how he designed and built a trap for package robbers. The thing looks like an Apple HomePod, but it's actually a brilliant booby trap that douses thieves in glitter and fart spray—and records the whole debacle for our viewing pleasure.

So now to the results and the great footage of the surprised thiefs:



Pretty great video overall, loved how this guy thinkered around and came to the solution how to engineer the "bomb" and everything.
