Tis the season for a pile of packages on the front porch and the dastardly Grinches who pilfer them, so enter YouTuber and former NASA engineer Mark Rober who went to great lengths to punish porch pirates nabbing boxes off doorsteps.
In the above video, Rober walks us through his problem (someone swiping his packages) and comes up with a brilliant solution (a magnificent glitter bomb). And, boy, does he go all in with his contraption, featuring multiple cell phones to record the action, GPS, lots and lots of glitter, and even fart spray.
What unfolds next is a glorious, probably real series of videos of would-be package thieves getting some glittery, stinky comeuppance, something that can surely make us all feel a bit warmer and cheerier this holiday season.
UPDATE: Dec. 21, 2018, 11:17 a.m. EST On Thursday morning, Rober posted a comment on the video on YouTube and tweeted that he had removed a small part of the video featuring two reactions that he said he had learned were staged.
