In some states, this is now illegal. Too bad, I think it is brilliant.

Then I guess an M80 firecracker in a bag full of dog sh*t is out of the question??glitter.

I’ve seen some statutes that make mailing glitter bombs illegal, but I can’t for the life of me think of anything illegal here. He didn’t put it in the mail. He put a contraption on his porch. A trespasser took it and opened it. I’d be interested to know if someone has some info on such a statute.In some states, this is now illegal.
Inasmuch as it may seem like a good idea, you would be sued in court and lose. Decades ago The NRA had a column in it's magazine dealing with judicial cases involving weapons. Seems one guy had a cabin in the woods and was getting fed up with break-ins. Inside the cabin he wired a shotgun to go off when someone opens the front door. Someone did, got shot, and took the owner to court. I'm sure there is a legal term for what happened.I’ve seen some statutes that make mailing glitter bombs illegal, but I can’t for the life of me think of anything illegal here. ...

That guys problem was he used too small a shotgun.Inasmuch as it may seem like a good idea, you would be sued in court and lose.

Probably the second guy in the door stold it?
get a little more creative Dave. look in your local police reports and pick a suitable thief address. use this address as the return address on your package. when the guy that stole your package opens it later on, he'll know where to affect his revenge.To be illegal, there would need to be physical injury. I have to think waste products in a pressurized container would not get you in trouble. My only fear would be their desire to repay and what they might do to your house.
Katko v. Briney is one of the first and most famous cases. Law students learn about it as the “spring gun” case. It is as you described, using lethal force to defend property against trespassers: bad. Even though it was aimed in a non lethal way.I'm sure there is a legal term for what happened.
That's why the front door is a bad idea to Booby trap. If they open your locked bedroom door, they're the ones committing wreckless endangerment. After all, what do you think they would do if the owner came home at that point? What ever it took to escape. Their very presence under those circumstances knowingly or predictably puts an innocent party in danger.I think the term is "wreckless endangerment" Like shooting a gun into the air on New Years Eve. "A bullet falls to earth, I know not where".
