A very tech capable guy (and some friends) made a fake package to put on their porch for thieves to take. It shoots out glitter and fart smell.
Truly a technically inspiring production, it also uses GPS and cell phone cameras to track its location and record the reactions.


I don't understand why the thieves faces were blurred and would have liked for them to use something sticky, but its still a fun video.
