He is more than happy to share his creative genius with others. And fake “planters” that move at night, covering up the Glitterbomb from just before you arrive home in the late afternoon until you leave for work the next morning. Rober has thought of almost everything when it comes to his Glitterbomb creations - even making welcome mats that charge the boxes with power. “Revenge is a dish best served… fabulously” Not only that, but this year’s boxes are translucent, allowing for their embedded flashing red and blue lights to shine through, causing a porch pirate to call even more attention to his vehicle - along with, of course, recorded police scanner sounds, making him feel like the authorities are closing in. What’s more, “there are microphones to record continually, starting from when the package is stolen.” But there have been many challenges along the way to this example of peak engineering, including a flywheel that spun at what he admits were “irresponsibly dangerous speeds ” he now uses a pneumatic system that works at 80 psi to create the explosions - complete with two small boxing gloves that lift the tops off the boxes.Īnother major addition this year is a blaring car horn - because, Rober says, “I just feel that’s going to make things more exciting for everyone!”Īdded to the 2021 model is also what he promises is “Twenty percent more spray” of what he calls “legitimately the worst smell you could possibly imagine” - skunk. Rober then presents what he proudly calls “Glitterbomb 4.0,” whose top shoots off as soon as the perpetrator tries to open the box. “Plus, he adds, “it’s become such a lifelong engineering challenge for me to think of all the ways in which we can upgrade.”
“I say no,” he replies, adding “and I’m going to keep doing it every Christmas until I can make a dent in the two million packages that are stolen from porches every year. “Isn’t it a little excessive to spend the last four years of your life trying to engineer the perfect revenge for porch pirates just because someone stole your package and the police wouldn’t do anything about it?” he asks rhetorically. “Now I now what you’re thinking,” he says to his legion of Youtube followers. Luckily, there are many ways to prevent these criminals. The “Glitterbomb 4.0,” designed by engineer Mark Rober, will greet erstwhile porch pirates this Christmastime. The best way to catch porch pirates is to make sure the package you want is secured and delivered by a trusted delivery company.
