Stealing is a shitty thing to do.

I worry about retaliation

[Zundfolge]

My brother and I were recently discussing how one would make a device that could be surrounded by fecal matter (dog, cat, some other smelly animal) that would detonate with enough force to distribute the feces but not enough to do harm (so as to avoid crossing the line of the law) once it lost a blutooth or wifi connection. That way you connect it electronically to your network and then once its driven out of range it goes off. We decided that the electronics involved would be too valuable to allow to be stolen so maybe some other method would work better.

But yeah, "how to deal with thieves" is the only thing the arab/islamic world has right.

I know post inspection services uses dye packs.
That would be really nice if we can use dye pack on bait package.

Search YT. Guys have done some pretty good stuff to retaliate against porch robbers.

Oh the trouble I could get into with this.

Get Amazon box and fill with that crumpled paper, packing peanuts, whatever.

Sprinkle a bit of this stuff inside (like 1/4 jar). Mix with paper thorougly. Wear gloves. Leave on porch.

During unpacking the box, a metallic green dust will inevitably get everywhere, it is very difficult to detect a light dusting.

When that tiny little speck of dust hits moisture. It dies EVERYTHING bright purple. This shit is the devil. It does not come out easily. I talked an acquaintance of mine into rubbing some on his hands, then washing them. He spent a while in the garage trying to wash his hands with gasoline and brake cleaner to no avail. Imagine a thief unboxing this in their car or living room, tossing paper around only to find nothing and later sweat on the seat, spill a drink, shampoo the carpet, or even wash their clothes.

I know this is not our typical genre, but this illustrates the spread of this stuff...

Sorry, but I think it should be legal to kill porch pirates. Either shoot them or bait them with booby trapped packages. People that do that shit are some of the lowest life forms on the planet and we don't need them anymore.

Yeah, but baiting is illegal in Colorado. You can bait other types of people like the milk man or postman as long as you're not baiting the thing you're hunting.
