I've seen a couple of different videos on package traps. It is so disappointing so many people are thieves...
Yeah I've seen them as well and I always have to wonder what kind of ghetto 'hood these people are living in that every fucker and his dog who walk by is a thief.
Fuck being Mr. Nice Guy. Put a metal box hooked up to a car battery inside it. Not quite sure how'd you camouflage it to make it look like an Amazon package however.
Well, you only need them to contact two points on the box. So, figure on them picking up the box on the lower sides and put the conductive strips there. They aren’t looking for something like that; the rest of the box can be an actual Amazon box. Set up a camera and wheeee!
I don’t understand why the thief’s face is blurred in these. Shame them online. This isn’t stealing to feed their family, it’s someone giving themselves a white elephant gift over and over. There is NO excuse for this behavior.
My neighborhood is cognitively invisible, to the point that I’ve lived in this city my entire life and had no clue it existed until I was looking to buy a house. It’s actually an intentional design AFTER it was built, as all but one incoming road was removed about 30 years ago. The one remaining road doesn’t APPEAR to be a neighborhood entrance, simply a few houses on a side road. It’s not an expensive neighborhood, it’s actually one of the cheapest you can find inside city limits. I think the smaller houses in a city of mansions probably don’t draw any interest.
