Rober tried to turn the not-so-sneaky thieves over to law enforcement using video evidence, but when the police did nothing, he took matters into his own hands.<\/p>\n<p>Rober didn\u2019t just want to stop criminals from stealing his valuables, he wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine. With a GlitterBomb contraption disguised as eye-catching technology, Rober took to the streets of California to go what he calls \u201cfull \u2018Home Alone\u2019\u201d on the scummy people who steal Christmas gifts and other expensive possessions to resell for a profit online. <\/p>\n<p>Anyone who successfully snatches the packages strategically planted by Rober and crew is suddenly and unknowingly transformed from a perpetrator into a victim. Once the thieves think they are safely back in their own homes or cars with the new treasure in tow, Rober remotely tasks the armed box with doing its worst. <\/p>\n<p>Women, men, and even children involved in stealing the special parcel are met with an assault of the world\u2019s finest glitter from sky-bound drones and a stinky spray that Rober confirmed takes days to air out of fabric such as carpet and chairs. A loud beeping, countdown, and soundbites from police radio recordings further confuse the criminals who frantically try to dispose of the obnoxious-smelling, noisy device by any means necessary. <\/p>\n<p> Where Soft-on-Crime Counties Fail, Rober\u2019s GlitterBomb Succeeds <\/p>\n<p>This year, which Rober said will be his last time targeting looters, the NASA veteran shared his discovery that the thieves who orchestrate car break-ins in the Golden Gate City are pickier than he originally thought. <\/p>\n<p>After several failed attempts to entice the hooded criminals with flashy merchandise, Rober shifted gears.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe realized they had adapted. Word must have gotten out from stealing our GlitterBombs in previous years that a juicy-looking box like this sitting out in plain sight is nothing but trouble,\u201d Rober said. \u201cAnd as an engineer, I never claimed to have all the answers. But I know the process to get the answer and that\u2019s trying and failing and tweaking over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a few modifications including shrinking the box down to a more grabbable size, Rober\u2019s cars were broken into and his faux valuables were stolen. Recorders hidden in the small box captured the chaos that ensued.<\/p>\n<p>Organized criminals who thrive on routine break-ins were rendered useless by a humble man\u2019s smelly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Rober mastered a level of punishment that leftist counties won\u2019t get with reduced police budgets and district attorneys who refuse to lock up criminals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":490,"featured_media":1781594,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[10580,7378,10584,6920,6919,8762,10581,3632,10582,4259,10583],"class_list":["post-1781591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-5-0","tag-americas","tag-engineer","tag-favorite","tag-federalist","tag-final","tag-glitterbomb","tag-package","tag-revenge","tag-takes","tag-thieves"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1781591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/490"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1781591"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1781591\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1781594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1781591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1781591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1781591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
