Stealing is a shitty thing to do.

The guy in Aurora who puts amazon packages on his porch, designed for being stolen, and containing soiled diapers from his child........was successfully stolen today.


AWESOME !!!!!!

There's some Win going on there.

I was going to whine about how many boxes I have from Amazon and how come they don't have a box recycling program and blah blah whine whine. BUT, this seems like a better use for empty boxes. Well except I don't want to attract package thives to my neighborhood by leaving packages out on my porch.

I hope his decoy package sat in the sun for a few days first too!

Excellent. I hope he cuts his hand off trying to open it.

You know what is double stupid? If they thief does get hurt opening the box, he can probably sue and win in court. Our jacked up court system...

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...

Someone, I thought from here, was just telling me about doing an experiment with their kids with something similar to this. Said it got every where and no where in the instructions did it warn that this would happen.

When I ordered it, it didn't come with instructions. It was a little 1oz or so jar inside a Ziploc, packed in a box. I have no doubt that letting kids near it would be a terrible experience. It leaves a almost waxy purple finish on metals, cloth is a problem.
We don't even keep it in the house. It is in a place where my buddy's kids don't frequent.

This person's experience was in some kind of science experiment directed at kids where you make an expanding foam. Sounds like a cruel prank directly from a company to me. Ha!

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.
