Noun:
Alternate spelling of "Porch Fishing"...
The act of placing a fake package, or "bait box" on a porch or driveway to entice a "porch pirate", aka mail thief, into stealing it. It usually contains something unpleasant such as pet feces or dirty dirty socks. Some people on YouTube have gone more elaborate and built glitter flinging devices or packages connected to shot shell primers to scare the thief. And some just put something in the package to waste the thief's time.
