Wallet Thief Gets Busted By Glitter Trap


Being able to catch a thief red-handed is overwhelmingly satisfying. Especially the petty thieves of the world. Like the thieves that insist on jacking their fellow coworkers' stuff from their personal lockers. Fortunately, there are things in this world like glitter traps. Glitter traps as a matter of fact prove massively effective at exposing thieves for their crimes. This isn't the first time we've seen a thief get busted by a glitter trap. Check out the unforgettable time that a package thief got defeated by a glitter bomb on video.

Text - I didn't have to wait very long. A few weeks later I heard from out LP guy that a cashier had been going through people's bags again and fell for my glitter- bomb wallet hook-line-and-sinker, tried to then wash the glitter off her hands which activated the powdered red food coloring.
