Mark Rober stuns package thieves with \u201cglitter bomb 3.0\u201d fart spray prank YouTube: Mark RoberEngineer, inventor, and tech YouTuber Mark Rober is back at it again with his classic Christmas pranks on package thieves \u2014 this time, with an amped-up version of his iconic \u201cglitter bomb.\u201d With the holiday season swiftly approaching, package thieves are coming out in full-force. In fact, over 11 million homeowners reported having packages stolen in just the past year, according to a study from Edelman Intelligence. Bearing this in mind, YouTuber Mark Rober has concocted his very own invention to dissuade any package thief unlucky enough to fall for his trap; and this year, it\u2019s got a few new bells and whistles. The \u201cglitter bomb 3.0\u201d boasts \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 some of the world\u2019s finest biodegradable glitter, which spins out of the package as soon as it\u2019s opened by a so-called \u201cporch pirate.\u201d Then, motors on the box (which looks a bit like a stereo) pump out potent \u201cfart spray\u201d and skunk musk, while audio plays from the Christmas classic, \u201cHome Alone.\u201d That\u2019s not all; the box also plays a countdown and flashes red and blue sirens, prompting the thieves to dispose of the box as soon as possible. All their attempts are simultaneously recorded by four camera phones within the device, which send footage directly to the \u201cCloud\u201d for Rober to conveniently dissect. He shared his results in a YouTube video on December 16, showing the humorous \u2014 and sometimes soul-baring \u2014 reactions of the package thieves. Some destroyed the box and threw it outside, while others shoved it away in a closet or attempted to dismantle it inside a sink. While it\u2019s always nice to see justice getting served, Rober made sure to shout out the vast majority of people who simply walked by the packages and let them be, or even called him to make sure he had received any packages that he\u2019d purposefully left out near a P.O. Box. All in all, it seems like Rober\u2019s social experiment uncovered a wealth of different reactions from bystanders and thieves alike, and the entire video is certainly worth a watch. Keep an eye on your porches this season \u2014 or, if you\u2019re really paranoid, set out a glitter-trapped decoy box, just in case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
