I wish I had the engineering know how to build something like this.  Last year we had a package taken from our front porch as well. 

This would have been great to have!

Is package theft that big of deal?  We have never had anyone take our packages before.  This seems potentially staged.  Not to take away from the engineering that went into this, it's amazing.  But 6 months worth of coding and building.  Then they also just happen to have 5 or so thief's to partake in this?

From paying attention to the news over the last few years, during the holiday season, there's been a marked increase in theft from front porches. The more shopping that occurs on line, the more this can be a problem in some areas. So, yeah, it's become a big deal.

Good stuff!

There are photographs everywhere. It is the call of photographers to see and capture those images.

I saw that earlier, too bad the trap wasn't rigged with a stick of dynamite instead of glitter dust.
I hate thieves.

Why so serious?

I can see some dirty attorney working on behalf of one of these idiots who stolen it and claiming entrapment.  :rofl:

Seriously, this was awesome.  I could watch this all day!

ha ha ha, that was just awesome!

There must have been so much coding put into that.  Well of the looks of the YouTube counts, he made his money back and then some from ad revenue.  Good for him!

Love the drive behind his motive!

Wish the machine spit out color dyes.
