Hi
not all superheroes wear capes. some build glitter bombs
And some make parkour roots for squirrels
Or someone is out there tracking them... (jimbrowning)
And devils toothpaste
I laughed on this Do i have a bad humor? lmao
The superheroes even protect the ice cream
Mark Rober really went from skinning a watermelon, to teaming up with the FBI and police to defeat scammers with glitter.
lolol
@@DyslexicMitochondria I was curious about your username so clicked on your profile. Your channel is a hidden gem mate
He is The Chosen One
He went from working on the Mars rover to skinning watermelons and making it look like he had a hole in his stomach to timing up with the fbi He lives the dream
He also teamed up with the internet superhero Jim Browning.
We elderly can’t thank you enough…this is truly awful how they have no soul. Thank you so very much 👍
I used to work in fraud. Unfortunately, it's true how a lot of victims are older folks. One woman had a really sad story. A friend of hers stole her information when she was grieving the loss of a family member. She was saying how this woman held her hand at the funeral & how she comforted her & all that. The "friend" somehow got ahold of her info & used to do her own dirty work
Respect to Gary for being cool about it and agreeing along with understanding what they were doing.
Gary still opened a package that wasn’t his.
Can't wait for the Glitterbomb™ to make an international appearance.
I'll literally buy it in a heartbeat. My neighbourhood is filled with porch pirates. I ordered a mic for recording audio for my channel and someone stole it yesterday from my porch.
@@DyslexicMitochondria Hope you get a refund. Checked our channel. Your videos are AMAZING.
lol

When your the 900th like: noice
some guy taking a package off of marks door step like 3 years ago leading to this is my favourite butterfly effect
Lol. Yeah, sometimes I think about those people who took my $5 package. They have no idea what they started.
They triggered the revolution.
@@MarkRober oh wow, i was definitely not expecting a response lol. just want to say thank you for all the awesome things you do/how you use your platform. you are for sure one of my favourite creators on the app, have a great day and i can’t wait for the second part to this :)

Dear Mark! You are unlikely to read this, but I consider you a hero of our time!
He got so angry about someone stealing a box off of his porch that he is now helping the FBI track down scammers
Always be nice to the weird kid in school, they are always the most successful.
this sounds like every single big thing in the world today like: "some kids were bored and made a video sharing platform called youtube and now it's a multimillion dollar corporation" Who knows? Maybe Mark will stop all scams in the future!
@@Satellaview1889 Well said.
@@Satellaview1889 Mark doesn’t seem like he was the weird kid, just really smart
I relate. After my bike was stolen, I really wanted to get a GPS tracker and put it on cheap bikes in the same location and hunt down the thieves. But the cash investment was more than I could really justify. Would be way easier and cheaper to pull off than this though... I don't know why police don't just always have like 50 bait bikes around town waiting to get stolen.
Mark went from working for NASA to working for the FBI 😅
I can’t tell which is cooler

Cool to see how much stuff has developed over time

Scammers are the bottom feeders and leeches of the world. Nothing lower.
Agreed
That's an insult to bottom feeders and leeches. They have important roles in their respective ecosystems. These people don't.
Sorry to say the government are the leeches and scammers.
They are right alongside of politicians and lobbyists. In my opinion.
safe to just call them worthless
Вот, что я буду поддерживать. Супер крутая работа, Марк! Большой респект от всех жертв мошенников.
Me anytime I get caught doing anything from now on: "I cannot park here?"
Hahaha
Is my car illegal?

Hearing the old lady crying when she “accidentally” put in $20,000 made my heart melt, scammers are terrible people...
Its not an old lady
Pretty sure its kitboga
Yeah that’s terrible how these scammers are heartless.
that was a KZheadr with a voice changer, but this still happens with real old and vulnerable people, it's sad.
ee
I can not express how disgusted I felt when the scammer "cried" with her manipulating a old woman for your own gain
You really get the impression from watching scammer exposed channels that they not only don't think of the people they're scamming as people, but they don't even have the concept that anything they're doing is wrong. To them this is just work and they're just earning money.
Yeah it's kinda pathetic
Yeah, there are quite a few things I would like to send those kind of people's way, and litterally none are glitter bombs.
I'm from India, and now I'm feeling guilty of my country people... 😔😔
I HAT ETHEM SO MUCH, IT JUST DISGUSTS ME
you are a very genius person in solving very difficult cases, great work bro 👍👍

No another channel
He should create a company that sends glitter bombs to scammers

True bro
didnt think I'd see you here

You are a hero!
Perhaps your very inteligent way of solving issues is best served helping law enforcement with solving crime problems. Law enforcement in general is missing that very important ability to be creative. You would really be helping all the victims of crime. Sure have fun with all the wonderful stuff......but also be a super hero for the rest of us...please
FBI, please hire Mark Rober and Jim Browning.
People like these are awful. My neighbourhood is filled with porch pirates. I ordered a mic for recording audio for my channel and someone stole it yesterday from my porch
nah Mark Rober should hire the FBI
Yes
*and Jim Browning
He already works for them secretly..
Dude has gone from making a video about science fair ideas to literally working with the police and catching actual criminals. What a legend.
He's awesome
Yep, pretty cool. Sad for the people who did stuff like this before, but don’t get the same recognition because of KZhead’s favoritism. Mark Rober is truly laying down the foundation
you didnt mention the watermelons? tzz
He's a real life Inspector Gadget.
The fact the police are using his footage as evidence to help nail these scumbags to the wall is the icing on the cake!
Amazing detective work. So sad for these victims.
