Here we see a gentleperson scale a 3-foot picket fence to enter a front yard. It's night, and the person's face is partially disguised in a hoodie. The person's behavior suggests they are engaged in an activity that they would prefer others not to know about. Our supposition is confirmed when the gentleperson walks to the front porch and grabs some packages that don't belong to them. They are isprobably wondering what treasure lies within the corrugated shells when BANG! — a firecracker in one of the packages explodes, throwing sparks. The startled gentleperson makes a hasty retreat. As they rescales the fence on their way out, we imagine they are reconsidering their life choices and promising themselves that from now on they will bring a long stick with them when they plies their trade.
Box rigged with firecracker provides unpleasant surprise for package thief
