NASA engineer creates glitter/fart bomb to punish package thieves

Much less active attention required, much less violence required, much less legal troubles. Much more privacy, much more land can be used as you see fit.

Americans display a lot of fake bravado about using their guns. In your heart you know you will not use a gun over minor issues like that, because you don't want to go to prison for using excessive force for killing a guy for stepping on your lawn. Rights to bear arms are good, but you must be realistic about when you are really free to use them.

You have a lot of rights to own guns, but very few rights to actually use them and you know it. But this is again another example of you turning a bling eye to one instance of freedoms and overrating another instance of freedoms.

Also - Americans claim they have a lot of freedom but they are not allowed to fence off their front yard, so I have read.

That's only if you live in a planned development managed by a homeowner's association. In most of America, the only limitation is that it cannot be over four feet tall in the front.

Amazon has now installed self service lockers in grocery stores that you can have a package delivered to. The maximum size is 19 x 12 x 14 inches and maximum weight is 20lbs. It also must be from Amazon, contain no hazardous materials and have a value lower than $5000.

4 - feet is kind of low, easy to climb over. In the free world you can build a fence of 5-6 feet as long as a human height. You can also make it spiky

Also service lockers exist in the free world of EE a long time ago, and you can put in any type of package sent from everyone and there is no weight limit.

If you get a too big a package you get a notice about it in mailbox, then with that notice and personal ID you go to your local post service to collect it.

Dude admits he faked it: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...s-epic-revenge-package-viral-video-FAKED.html

That article makes him sound like the victim, actually.

'I was presented with information that caused me to doubt the veracity of 2 of the 5 reactions in the video,' Rober wrote on Twitter after the video went viral. 'These were reactions that were captured during a two week period while the device was at house 2 hours away from where I live.'

He said he had offered to compensate anyone willing to put out the package on their doorstep if the package got stolen from their porch and recovered with usable video. A friend of a friend offered.

'It appears (and I've since confirmed) in these two cases, the ''thieves'' were actually acquaintances of the person helping me,' he wrote. Rober has since cut them from the video.

Come to think of it, the two videos in question stood out to me as different from the other three. Sounds like they accepted his 'compensation' but fakes the whole thing. Low trust everywhere.
