#2The fart spray was a great addition as it seemed to be what caused the thieves to toss it out, allowing for recovery.

#3This is fantastic! It would be great if he mass produced these, possibly without the 4 presumably expensive phones.

What makes you think they were expensive phones?

Xiaomi A6 can often be found new around me for less than $100 each, they have good battery, good camera and good LTE modems. And there are cheaper options with inferior (but possibly sufficient) hardware. 2nd hand previous generation Xiaomi or Meizu are often $20-$40 when you can find them.
Isn’t as easy to find them in the US, but aliexpress and eBay are your friends.
Also note that the guy spent tens of hours of a highly competent engineer on this project. Even if he had used iPhone XSs, that wouldn’t have been the expensive part of his project...

#7It's frustrating how easy it was to find criminals.
He should buy actual postage and put a credit card inside. All of a sudden, the police should be interested in felony theft / felony mail fraud.

#8Should've used pepper spray and glass wool.

Considering how much card fraud (and other stuff like money laundering, etc) happens all the time on the Internet and nothing gets done, do you really think someone is going to care?

#10This is good but I wish he used something that inflicts actual monetary damage, like paint or something. Glitter is fun and all but is relatively easy to clean up. Paint is usually impossible to take off from fabric and would cost quite a bit if it were to explode in these assholes' cars for example. Would teach them a good lesson.
