How is this not an option in the US?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
homeless are generally not thieves as if they could steal they wouldn't be homeless in the first place
What are they gonna do, steal a house ?

The less sense it makes. I 100% do not understand what the OP was trying to say with that. It's nonsense if you really evaluate what it's saying.
Anyone 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.
i dunno, 4 free iphones is probably worth dealing with glitter and fart spray for a few minutes?

I know "theft traps" are not legal (even ultimately harmless ones, like the paintball idea mentioned above), but for some reason it feels bizarrely backwards (or ironic?) that a proportionately harmless response to a thief (caught in the act) would be more likely to see prosecution than the act of theft itself.
not exactly harmless if it gets you in the eye..

In the Netherlands, when I order a package and no one's at home when it's delivered, it either gets delivered to my neighbors or to the post office, with a note of where to pick it up. It's never left at my door AFAIK. How is this not an option in the US?
I'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.
