B次元官网网址楾is the season for mail thieves to be out in full force. But one package pirate recently got more than they asked for when they happened to steal a box filled with something called Fart Spray and glitter.

NASA-engineer-turned-YouTube-star Mark Rober designed a bait package, called the B次元官网网址済litter bomb trap,B次元官网网址� after he fell victim to a porch thief himself in San Francisco.

B次元官网网址淚f youB次元官网网址檝e ever been a situation like this, you just feel violated,B次元官网网址� Rober said in a video he posted Monday, detailing how he designed and used the bait package.

Rober, who worked on NASAB次元官网网址檚 Mars Rover, said he spent about six months designing, planning and testing his device.

The result? A contraption disguised as AppleB次元官网网址檚 smart speaker, a HomePod, that releases not only a pound of fine glitter and a rancid smell, but captures the entire act on four cameras inside the box.

A number of thieves fell for the trap, with the device inside working exactly as planned each time.

The video shows one man driving up to a home, taking the package, and driving away with it in his passengerB次元官网网址檚 seat. The next clip shows him getting hit with an explosion of glitter.

B次元官网网址淐ome on, bro,B次元官网网址� he says, before jumping out of his car to shake off the glitter. After getting back in the car and continuing his drive, the Fart Spray does its job.

B次元官网网址淲hat is that smell? Ooooof,B次元官网网址� he says, before throwing the package out of his car window into some bushes.

A woman is then seen opening the box inside her home. Once the glitter bomb explodes, the woman is heard shrieking, lifting the box only to be hit with the stinky spray.

Rober said the moral of the prank was simple: just donB次元官网网址檛 take other peopleB次元官网网址檚 stuff.

B次元官网网址淣ot only is it not cool, but on the plus side, youB次元官网网址檒l never find yourself in this situation,B次元官网网址� he said.
