Put your old boxes on the porch full of dog crap or anything else disgusting. Put a note inside asking the porch pirate if they got anything they needed.
Excellent idea,dont have that problem here.
A rattler in Az would be novelty too.
No one goes down my road and dummy UPS driver left a box of fruit at a door I dont use(has a sign on it UPS use back door)and 2 days later when I found it every thing was frozen
Years ago there was a problem with people breaking into cars at a large mall nearby...a few friends and I decided to do just that with a friends van.
After a day of preparing we drove back up to the mall and parked the van (with ...8 gift wrapped boxes with dog chit, cat turds,and used cooking oil from a White Castle. It didn’t take
long for 4 ferals to show up, check out the van, and they moved along,..after ten minutes they came back in a small car. As they pulled up
they jumped out of the car ran to the van,yanked open the side door(unlocked) *smiles* and off they went...It’s worth the effort,especially with cam cameras now a days.....
