Porch Thieves vs Glitter Bomb 

So, you’ve had a package stolen. Now what?  

Well, if you’ve been on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or any sort form of social media recently then you’ve probably heard of the viral sensation that is glitter bombing. 

But what is a glitter bomb and are there any consequences to sending one in the mail? Is there a better way to deter someone from stealing your packages?  

Read on to find out more about glitter bombing and how it all works.  

What is a Glitter Bomb? 

In recent years, glitter bombs have become a sure-fire way to ruin someone’s day. They’re essentially spring-loaded booby traps which, when opened, shoot glitter up into the air and scatter it as far as the eye can see.  

Many people have turned to glitter bombing as a way to discourage people from stealing their stuff. Essentially, people tired of having their packages swiped constantly from their doorstep have planted glitter bombs as decoys, in the hope they’ll cause such a mess the thief would never dare strike again.  

Sounds like a pretty good plan, right? Well, not really.  

The main problem with glitter bombing is there’s no sure-fire way to know for sure you’re going to stop your future packages getting stolen. Just because you’ve been the target of porch piracy several times doesn’t mean it’s always the same perpetrator. That means there’s no guarantee that your future packages won’t be in jeopardy.  

Also, let’s be honest, making a glitter bomb is a whole load of effort. You’ll have to buy supplies and figure out how to build the things (which means you’re probably going to end up pretty sparkly too). They can also be pretty dangerous, which might lead to some nasty, unexpected consequences.  

Keep reading to find out why glitter bombing might be a bad idea, and different solutions you can use to keep your deliveries safe.  

Are Glitter Bombs Illegal?  

Technically no (but we’re not lawyers, go talk to one if you want a real legal answer!).  However, they could have some pretty serious consequences that could land you in deep trouble.  

Doctors have issued several warnings around the dangers of sending a spring-loaded glitter bomb. What happens when that package is opened is very much out of your hands. If the glitter ends up in the eyes or nose of your target, it can cause nasty corneal damage. This could cause legitimate long-term damage.  

Some critics have also argued that glitter bombing could be considered assault and battery. That means if your victim can prove that you were deliberately trying to target them in a malicious way, you might actually end up with some legal issues on your hands.  

For us, the potential cons don’t outweigh the pros. Surely there’s got to be a better way?
