I gotta start thinking about this carefully: We are getting more and more porch pirate activity even here in the more rural parts of NW Indiana.
I really need to find out if this is fully legal here first though. I hope it is. If so, it’ll be fun….
And I need to find a source for the colored dye “explosive” devices too.
I still find this whole phenomenon completely unbelievable… But yet, this IS the world we’re living in today, so I suppose I shouldn’t be so naive.
Based on the intensity of the explosions, (car door blown open and pink dye sprayed back to the house) those could cause serious eye/facial injury. Pretty sure they are faked (motorcycle one almost certainly).
They’d probably have some shyster lawyers sue the home owner .
An awful lot of those shorts are AI generated.
maybe….
Maybe you can find sources of 3-Methyl-1H-indole or concentrated butyric acid or Surströmming.
Explosions are photogenic. Smells are the gift that keep giving for a very, very long time, especially if it leaks and soaks into the vehicle carpet.
I had thought about those (and stuff like Buck/Doe in Heat scent), but really, the kind of people that are Porch Pirates are not gonna be able make the link….
But a faceful of colored powder that sticks to their clothes, their car, their skin, etc is a lesson that they might learn immediately…..maybe.
Plus the amusement factor just isn’t there for me if it is a smell tha ttey ahve to deal with later.
That guy from NASA that does the glitter/fart bombs is da best !!
I am against it. I move packages from the front door to a more hidden entrance for my neighbors. If it was booby trapped and I lost a finger, it might make me an angry neighbor.
I would think a sealed container with a really nasty smelling slime that would be in their house or car would be better, safer and more legal method.
Raw chicken left in a plastic bag for a week is pretty rancid.
We are pretty rural here.
Anyone handling the package would be stealing it, or it wouldn’t be a planted package if I were travelling or something like that and asked a neighbor to move it.
