I was so impressed with that guy who built the glitterbomb fake UPS package to catch thieves. My favorite aspect was the additional stinkbomb functionality that sprayed the scent of dog crap. Brilliant.
The guy was apparently a Lefty who had been working for NASA, and did a great job of designing it, but made two fatal errors that made him a victim of Leftism:
He didn’t screen his video of thieves and exclude people of color, and he made the mistake of “staging” a piece of video using a person of color (who was apparently quite willing to do it...likely someone who had been victimized by someone and didn’t care what color they were)
Well, they went after him and he was fired. Hoisted on his own petard of Leftism, which was too bad because the device was brilliantly executed!
“My favorite aspect was the additional stinkbomb functionality that sprayed the scent of dog crap. Brilliant.”
Butyric acid has an extreme odor, may be useful for such projects.
So I have heard.
I am a whole lot meaner than you... I actually prefer the bait bike videos. You can't leave anything laying around our neighborhood and expect it to be there for more than a few minutes.
