Unfortunately, a good chunk of you who are reading this have been in the same exact situation that Mark Rober found himself in recently. Rober, a YouTube personality whose more important work came in the mid-2000s when he worked as an engineer for NASA on the Curiosity rover, was the victim of a recent package theft. According to recent survey data, at least 25 percent of America has had at least one package stolen, a figure that’s likely to rise especially during this gift-giving time of year.
Rober, using some of his engineering background, created a booby-trap package and leaned on his new career to send a viral warning message to package thieves everywhere. Rober’s video, which you can watch just below, has more than 32.2 million views as of Wednesday night, just two days after being posted.
