Re: DIY parcel trap for box thieves
As he notes in his own YouTube videos, he does it primarily for entertainment and to play “gotcha” with the thieves. But police are unlikely to pursue any action and the thieves generally just laugh at it. Even porch cameras don’t result in arrests. At best they’re a deterrent.
Most items are insured anyway and the only items we’ve had stolen, we were made whole by the sellers. Frankly, from early years in retail, you don’t confront thieves. Stuff is replaceable. Lives aren’t.
That said, it is entertaining. And sad. Watching grown ups caught on camera training their kids to be thieves.
