After continuously having packages stolen from his porch, an inventor created the "Blank Box", a 12ga. shotgun blank in a decoy box that explodes if someone attempts to move it.
Some videos of it in action:

Sure it might work, until you actually get a package or two and the carrier restacks the packages...oops.

Dec 21, 2017One time I had a job (in highschool) where my boss caught a huge rat on a sticky trap and stuck it in my pencil drawer on my desk. After two days in the dark, that thing was angry as something 10X it's size. I roll open the drawer after a weekend, and all I remember is a bunch of angry orange teeth and violent crashing and shrieking in the drawer.
I'd almost rather have a blank 12 ga pop off on me than deal with an angry rat like that again.
Moral: Some people deserve to get rattled. Smart-Alec teens like me, sure. But Thieves are at the top of that list.

I bet your pencils were sharpened at least :)

Dec 24, 2017Evidently, this guy has a store where he sells this - The Blank Box Shop
And it is popular enough (or he has such limited production) that he is sold out on most items:
Also, he claims in this video demo, no harm to it:

Plus never needs reloading and offers more flexibility in response sounds, e.g. sirens, ‘Freeze Punk!”, firing squad etc.
