This video is about Mark Rober's Glitter Bomb 4.0, a creative device designed to deter package thieves. It includes a car horn, a redesigned glitter cup for multiple glitter releases, an onboard microphone for audio recording, and a glowing acrylic casing. The device is left on porches, and when stolen, it records the thief's reaction and releases glitter and fart spray. Some thieves panic, while others try to sell or open the device. Mark Rober showcases the humorous and sometimes unexpected reactions of these would-be thieves.
