I wonder how much time it took to get all these thieves? We get less people stealing our packages in NYC.

#22I'm honestly really shocked by how casually people seem to steal these parcels, like what the hell?
And many of those people were driving pretty nice cars! It wasn't exactly the homeless stealing packages to feed their family.

#23Anyone else found it unsatisfactory that there was nothing about forwarding the footage of the thieves to the police?
It's in the first minute of the video. The police don't care.

#24Do you think the bomb maker could be held liable if the package were to be opened in a moving car that subsequently crashed because of glitter getting in the driver's eyes? I'd be a little nervous about doing this myself.

#25I've had fantasies of much worse punishments for package thieves, like a paint gun sentinel. I'd buy this if he'd manufacture it.
While all we can do to revenge is sometimes a fantasy, I'd say be rational when you turn your fantasies to reality, you might end up paying the hospitalization for the package thieves.

If you are stealing the parcels, you gotta have to do it casually, or you'll look suspicious.

In the video, Rober mentions that he previously brought his security camera footage to police (the camera monitoring his house, not the camera in the prank box), but that they said it wasn't worth their time to pursue such cases.
Yes but that's because the security footage didn't provide any actual information on the thief. Whereabouts, identity, etc. The GPS location of the thief, clear footage of the face, should be a slam-dunk case for a DA.
