Package theft is one of the most frustrating forms of theft, especially when nobody in your neighborhood sees the crook, so victims look for ways to catch thieves in the act.
Some set up cameras, others use decoy packages or traps on their porch, but theft victim and prankster Tom Mabe decided a package thief with poo on their face would be easy to catch.
So Tom made a "bait box" set to explode and spray poop all over the thief forty seconds after being touched, then he went to the security cam footage to watch his crappy revenge plan unfold.

Indelible dye would be better
I prevent this problem with a private PO Box that accepts all my packages and many highly visible cameras on the house.
