Becoming epidemic across the US. Was only a matter of time before the low lifers found yet another way to steal from honest, hard working citizens. Was watching this video with my wife and I said sooner or later an angry customer who didn't receive their package is going to booby trap a "delivered box" and hurt/kill someone. She said two wrongs don't make a right. I agreed, but dang I hate thieves. Don't we all?

Anyway, this is interesting, you might've seen it already, apparently it's gone viral. Whatever that means.

A 220 should fit inside most packages and be easily concealed with a little packing paper. Just saying......

Yes- but it's the giving season, good things come in large packages- smaller box on a 330 trigger, inside a larger box, with tissue paper around the jaws.

Tech exists to be fooled. For it was man that made it. Man can break it.


You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

Simply have the gov pass a law making it illegal to steal. If that doesnt curtail it then pass a law to quit mailing packages so the theives won't be tempted.

Huge problem for sure. Recently local pd and residents started teaming up for porch pirate stings.

Amazon and Walmart heard about the program and now Amazon is donating boxes and labels to residents and pd to use Walmart its donating actual products to fill the boxes.

Be interesting to swap the glitter for Cheyenne Pepper and the fart thing for pure quill. But then person probably get arrested for assault doing that? thief would walk.
I got CO2 powered mines that I made for playing paint ball. They'll fire paint, chalk or fine ground Pepper or pure quill. I almost put them on my walk during my cat fiasco with Cheyenne pepper. Good thing I didn't as first person I'd have gotten, was a reporter from Star Tribune. Not bad to get a reporter, but this guy was on my side of the debate LOL..
Thieves plain suck no matter how ya look at them.

Next time I'm moving through your neighborhood Mike, I'll do just the opposite and leave a "package" on your doorstep

I've seen your package, and it's not big enough to worry about.

Why would a delivery company leave a package outside?
Here if no one is home to take delivery,it goes to the depot in town and you get a phone call to pick it up.
What do they expect leaving a package sitting outside,lol.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Couple years ago I lived in an area that this was happening a bunch. Neighbors even had them on camera but nothing was being done.

A few of the more industrius neighbors started booby trapping dummy packages. Well the area got a reputation and package theft dropped to near nill.
