This might be my Magnum Opus. Please see my comments below with regards to reports the video was partially faked.
My buddy Sean posted a video with more details of the build: • Building Glitterbomb 1...
I started a company called CrunchLabs where we build a toy together and then I teach you all the juicy physics for how it works. So if you want to learn to think like an engineer and have really fun time doing it, check out the current promotion where you get 2 FREE boxes at crunchlabs.com

Summary: I got upset that my package was stolen so I made a glitter bomb revenge package.
MERCH-

*Police* : Sorry, it ain't worth our time. *Mark* : _Fine, I'll do it myself_

0:45 The police say its just not worth their time to look into Its wonderful that you can be the victim of a crime, and the people supposed to stop those crimes just ignore you
Yeah it happens more than it should I believe. Even when there is actual danger the police also don’t always do something for it.
But if your lawn is 1/2 taller than it is supposed to be,trust me then the cops get involved. Police are worthless and these porch pirates know it that why they do this in broad daylight.
too busy filling those traffic ticket quotas
The state police is meant to deal with the big crimes, and the small police deals with crimes like this. Sad to see that they see themselves as better than what their job is.
Lighten up on the cops, guys.......you'd be the first to complain if they raised your taxes $200 to pay for the theft of a $20 package.
Imagine those "lovely couple" were honest, this whole glitterbomb series wouldn't exist.
someone else probably would just trigger this
Imagine if it triggered a voice that said "bomb detonating in 30 seconds"
Elo Yo this got me cracking up😂😂😂
Someone please make this.
Hahahaha too funny. What about getting the thieves finger prints from the box and stop all the thievery.
🤣🤣🤣🤣. That would be freaking hilarious!
Hahahaha or at least a 30 seconds timer 😂
*steals people’s packages* *gets upset because glitter ruined their car and clothes* logic

This is exactly what I thought😎
3:34 that's brilliant As an uncle with 3 nieces, I can tell you glitter is the devil's particles. It's almost impossible to get rid of. This is a perfect use for it
I never thought he would risk multiple phones just to catch these guys, amazing
Lol he makes tens of thousands from KZhead he can risk a grand or two
People don't know their phone in there so they throw it away
he used samsung phones
And used phones on eBay are dirt cheap. I bought an iPhone6 to use with a local SIM when I go to Europe or South America. They're $20 on eBay. (BTW, phone service cost me $6 for 4 weeks in Uruguay. We're getting so screwed on phone & internet service in the US.)

And every time they look at the glitter, they remember their life choices
Its not over-engineered Mark, its absolutely GENIUS.
wtf is with people how can they just steal someones package
Soksy it's Bernie sanders logic.

Victim: “What the **** did I do to deserve this?!?!”
@Keoh 8 Well, they shouldn't steal in the first place then?
@Keoh 8 lol what. anger at anyone other than yourself in this situation is complete emotional immaturity/stupidity. being embarrassed is a perfectly valid response. anger is not. it's like kicking someone in the shin and then being mad if they defend themselves.
You should do this again, but instead of glitter, use ink that stains
DaemonicDownfall44 yessss. Exploding ink and hopefully it fucks up their whole car or house 😂
Just use bleached flour.

What happened to me is my post office carrier stole a package of mine sign my name, it was a insurer package .I sent the post office a copy of the signature I told them its wasn't mine and I wanted to have them get a handwritten expert to compare my signature against it. They did nothing the carrier said he delivered it and that was the end of it.

I have seen this several times before, but I just love the video of the glitter vortex. It's beautiful. I would like to see that recorded with a Phantom Camera. Oh Gavin, Destin, where are you?
Problem is some of package thieves think it’s something funny and I don’t think they learn their lesson. They should get something that drives the lesson in a more painful manner.
Super glue there hands then enjoy 😈
Thumb tacks
Maybe a fine mist of glue for the glitter and what it lands on to adhere to.
Absolutely agree with you,sometime people missing the whole lesson & not taking the advice.

Why did the police say it wasn't worth their time, whats the point of a police officer then??
Just seen part 6 to this series and had to come back a and watch them all! Incredible mark insane to see the progress over the years 😊
Version 2.0 needs a tiny speaker saying "GPS coordinates found. Police notified." [EDIT] Yes, I know he did this....I knew the day he uploaded it
Bruh they will freak out real hard
You mean like phone speaker in one of 4 phones that are already in the box? :)
Good idea.
yesssss please
Pretty sure stealing a package with 4 cell phones would be a felony too.
Am I the only one who's dying at the guy who opened it on his bed and stood there.. Then admired the engineering
He really liked the glitter spinner.
Shoooot I want a glitter spinner.
He marveled at his poor choices and the engineering

Yeah... I heard the exact same thing, too cuz I watched the video. That's amazing you got a lot of likes for saying it again. All those people musta forgot they heard it the first time. Good on you.
Seemsayin first, I’d never watched home alone before, second, I’m not at that part of the video, third, they must’ve been quoting that because they liked how it was used in the video or someshit like that.
These thieves should be glad this package wasn't made by a more malicious person and that sh*t exploded or something
Or bear mace pepper spray instead of fart spray.

To be honest, bad people don't deserve glitter. Glitter is for good people. Thieves deserve a thousand times worse.
Its even more f'd up that some of the comments here are AGAINST the guy for doing this "You shouldnt do that, they are just package thieves". Im amazed ant how many people side with the victim. In my neighborhood, this thief broke into homes, shot at police, police returned was killed. This one chick kept raving on "that was somebody's son" as if he was the victim, and said nothing about the 20 families he terrorized for months.

@@sean2015 dude, don't start getting political, but also, conservative people are parasites, just leaving that there
@@steelrarebit7387 Seriously, just make one with a fragmentation grenade instead of glitter and let the problem sort itself out.
If you mass produce these, package theft will cease to exist

how about feas and tics?
I would nix the smartphones and simply put in a microchip
And you would get a GPS tracking and anti-theft option only or standard. (the one in the video.)
Kokamoe Until thieves recognize it, so you’d have to adjust the dimensions and sell a variety of them and rotate some new box designs out every so many months to make it work.
