Too bad it couldn't launch leprosy.

+1 LOL
Mine would have shot out something more nefarious than glitter and fart spray.
Hate thieves.
The moral of the story is get the tracking number and be home when the package arrives.
This was later debunked as a staged event.
Rober's viral video has been viewed more than 40 million times. It features a highly engineered fake Amazon box that exploded glitter, emitted a stench and recorded supposed thieves reactions – all at once.
Rober said that during the creation of the video, he provided compensation to a "friend of a friend" for placing the bait package on their porch and successfully capturing a thieves reactions.
After internet sleuths closely scrutinized the video and alleged inconsistencies, Rober addressed two reactions, totaling about one-and-a-half minutes in the original video: "It appears (and I've since confirmed) in these two cases, the 'thieves' were actually acquaintances of the person helping me."
The video featured five reactions in total Rober said.
Rober apologized for the error, saying that both the device itself and the reactions it captured after leaving his porch were legitimate: "I know my credibly (sic) is sort of shot but I encourage you to look at the types of videos I've been making for the past 7 years. This is my first ever video with some kind of 'prank' and ... it's pretty removed from my comfort zone. I should have done more. Full stop."

Yeah it's a real problem if you can't get the day off or get a neighbor to cover for you.
What I've experienced lately is those lazy ass delivery drivers don't seem to have the desire to lift their finger ring the doorbell. I'm home! Ring the bell dumbass!
Only partially:
So it appears most of the reactions were real. And it's still a great idea in terms of punking the punks who steal packages.
Agree, good observation, none of the deliveries are accompanied by a ring anymore.
