Complex Box
At first, Arthur attempted to construct a complex trap, but he eventually realized that a simpler approach would be more effective. He settled on a trap that featured a snare, which he modified to function like a finger trap. However, Arthur was not satisfied with the initial design and wanted to create something more effective. He was determined to make the porch pirate regret targeting him in the first place, and he knew he needed to create a trap that would accomplish just that.
Scaring Them Away
Arthur shared: “I was thinking, how could I scare them and make them drop my package and then never come to my front porch again.” Arthur pondered the problem extensively, with his primary objective being to scare off the porch pirates without causing any harm. He knew that involving the police would only complicate matters, so he needed to devise a trap that would deter the thieves without putting them in any danger.
