What jerks.

Try a spotlight or motion-triggered sprinklers.

Kids have been stealing and smashing pumpkins forever. Best solution is to not put them out.

Though a motion-activated sprinkler sounds fun.

Send me the full video, and I can take a look. Or try enhancing it yourself with OpenCv or DLib.

Finally, a helpful comment! Most people here just make jokes.

Right?? People are so rude on forums!

@Raven
Remember, not everyone here is rude. Reddit has bots too, so some comments might not even be real people. There are plenty of good folks around.

@Raven
People just want to feel funny.

@Raven
There are good folks here too. Some people on other forums even tip each other for helping out.

Just saying not everyone here is rude.

Got it. Here’s a summary for anyone else curious: looks like two people, one wearing ski goggles. I’d show you more if I could post images here. DMing you more details. Consider setting up a motion-sprinkler with person detection for next time. There’s an app that connects to your camera and turns on anything plugged into a smart outlet—works great for scaring off critters or people! I got it on Google Play here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unicordia.dc_free

Put a bear trap there and say, ‘Oops, officer! That’s just where I keep my bear traps!’

Booby traps are a sure way to get a felony or a lawsuit. Don’t even think about it.

@Merritt
But what if I put up a sign that says, ‘Bears, Keep OUT!’ It’s fair warning!

Nope. Traps can get you in legal trouble fast. If emergency responders don’t see the sign, they could get hurt, and that could cost you.

People are desperate these days and will steal cheap items to sell. They could be hitting other neighborhoods too, taking Halloween stuff. Look around for a sketchy yard sale nearby—that’s your thief!
