Cayenne pepper would be more awesome, but might also be more likely to result in criminal charges. I think the glitter is perfect.

There are things just as terrible or even worse, like hydroflouric acid just off the top of my head.

Glitter's not totally safe either, if it gets in your eyes for example.
Where does that guy live? If I were him I would move to a better neighborhood before I spent all the effort and money to play a joke on theives.
In reply to T.J. :
I don't think it was the same house each time. Looks like it was placed at friends places and whatnot.
I thought it was interesting that all the thieves had decent new cars and decent houses. Are they kleptomaniacs or people who are up to their eyeballs in debt?

Just shiny happy Bob Costas, every one.
I'm surprised none of the thieves didn't destroy it after it went off.
His house will certainly be vandalized, or worse, in the next couple of days when the package thieves see this video.

Based on another thread, fill it with German roaches.

It used to be that stealing a man's horse got you hanged.

However, it would be more environmentally-friendly AND annoying to put something biodegradeable in there in place of metallized microplastics AKA glitter. Nothing he puts in there will rot while it's in there considering the turnaround time. So what exactly might be a better substitute? Shredded fish bits? Chopped onions maybe?
Ammonium carbonate...AKA Baker's Ammonia. The ultra-fine powdery texture of flour combined with the intensely putrid and eye watering aroma of concentrated piss.
In reply to Driven5 :
I was just wondering if powdered cat pee existed. Combine with a rainy day or sweat from running around stealing package and profit.

Coyote Urine (the stuff they sell for keeping rabbits or deer out of gardens) or fish sauce. Have something puncture the bottle when the trap is sprung so when the contraption spins around, it slings the liquid onto everything.
You'll never get the smell out of upholstery and it takes days to get the smell out of your skin.
Failing that, one of those dye packs that banks use to color sacks of money for bank robbers. It takes days for it to wash off and it'll recolor the interior of the car permanently. You're unlikely to be charged with booby trapping property (which is actually a pretty serious criminal offense) as you didn't do any real harm to the perpetrator.
Ground cayenne pepper in the glitter. Enough to make the perp sneeze. Maybe flour for the spinner?
I live the toroidal cloud of glitter in the slow mo shots.
@mtn: I had to watch it again, and I think you're right that the people and reactions are genuine. I just hadn't heard of Mark Rober before.
This is certifiably genius. He's already up to almost 9 million views, I bet this is his highest viewed video eventually and he'll be barraged with requests to buy these devices.

When I first saw that the thing released glitter in an article headline photo, I actually assumed it was an "antitheft glitter" I'd read about a few years ago where each flake in a pack has a tiny marking on it that's unique to that pack.
Instead of a glitter bomb - or in addition to a glitter bomb - an old car airbag set to go off when the package was opened would be fun. Incredibly dangerous, but fun.

... is available in a spray bottle for trappers, or tinkerers.

I have to agree with this point. As much as i like the idea of arming it with ninja stars and donkey semen i really wouldnt want to end up sued or in jail for it.

He has videos with 100M views.
In reply to Slippery :
99M views in 3 years versus, as of right now, 9.8 million views in 23 hours. I'll stick to my claim - it'll be his highest viewed video eventually.
Update: Turns out that when the video was first uploaded, it did include footage of some staged reactions:

In reply to GameboyRMH :
More fake news. Some of the theives reactions make more sense knowing they were essentially paid actors.
