A BYU grad/engineer/inventor, frustrated about packages being stolen off his porch, came up with an “over-engineered monstrosity” — a fake package that explodes with glitter and sprays fart smells on the thieves.
And he’s gotten more than 8 million views on YouTube with his video about the device as of Tuesday morning.
Mark Rober, who graduated from BYU with a degree in mechanical engineering, got a master's degree from USC and spent nine years working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, says in the video that he “felt sort of violated” when he realized a package had been swiped from his porch.
