A woman from Ontario, Canada, set a trap for a thieves who made a habit of stealing packages left on her porch from the post man.
Lauren Pringle decided she had suffered enough theft and wanting to shock the next one with a package of poop into a delivery box, which she left on her front porch. The package only lasted 40 minutes before it was stolen once again.

“I live on a very busy downtown street. My front door pretty much opens out onto the sidewalk. I’ve had a number of packages stolen in the three years I’ve lived here,” she revealed to Canadian Online media Narcity.
“As a result I have a very clear label for all my Amazon packages, indicating that they should ring my video doorbell. A couple of the couriers that Amazon uses almost never read the label, so that results in my packages being stolen fairly often.”
Pringle captured the reported theft on video and claims that this isn’t the first time the suspect has stolen in the area before.

“I also posted this on the neighbourhood app, and somebody has said this same guy stole her package as well,” she added.

The thief must have been greeted by the shock of an awful smell when they arrived at their destination. She provided no update as to whether the thief was caught in the end. The idea is a good one for setting up thieves who steal property that doesn’t belongto them.
