Fun With Thieves!


While cleaning out my garage I came across the carrying case for my dewalt cordless combo. I never use the thing so I put five bricks in it, threw padlock on it and placed it in the alley.

Should be gone by the morning.

Some crackhead's gonna think he hit the jackpot.

That would be even funnier if you could hide a webcam someplace to keep an eye on it. I'd stay up all night watching that.

A exploding INK pack on the inside (like they use on bank robbers) would be priceless

If you were sure it would be taken pretty soon, put a stray cat inside.

The crook might get ticked off, and you'll find the case and the bricks embedded in your windshield tomorrow. Crackhead's revenge.

Re: Fun With Thieves!


Hook up a motion detector with one of the screw in outlets so you can plug a tape deck into the motion detector. Delay the tape by 5 or so seconds for them to get enough time to pick it up, then have the recording come on "I only have one leg but I will chase you down.........kill........murder....."

Since they will be running away with the case they might not notice the 50lbs test fishing line that will rip the case out of their hands after 100 feet or so.

That was my first thought, move it over by the house of a neighbor you don't like.

Re: Fun With Thieves!


Just checked on it. It's gone.

I think I heard some shopping carts a half hour ago, must have been them.

BTW, I moved it after that pic to a more anonymous location .

I need to get a web cam set up.

I would go around at night taking every wasp nest I could find and toss in there. If he takes it home fleas and roaches would work too but Im sure he has those already.

If you could make it blow a liquid out you could fill it with aquashade for ponds. Ive got that on my skin and it turns dark blue for like 2 months.

the wasps is the best one yet. It might take a bit of thinking to figure out how to build some sort of triggering device to go off when he opens it, but then all kinds of fun could be had- rotten eggs, ink, paint balls, pepper spray, ect. Still, the wasps are easy to setup, and just as good.
Of course, tying it off to a lamp post with a small strong cord, and then providing some sort of modivation for the crack head to be leaving at a dead sprint might be pretty funny as well, and it's repeatable.

Sour milk mixed with cat food with fish as an ingredient placed in a baggy and left to ferment in heat for a while is one nasty smelling concoction.

Re: Fun With Thieves!


I was reading and laughing at all these, when a freind wanted to know what was so funny. He didn't think setting up a poor homeless person like this was good Kharma. I guess you gotta wait until they break into your shop/truck/job site before justifiable retribution can be enacted.

DAMMN !
