Hmm, I'd be worried about retribution. Spread glitter in someone's car, they might come back and torch your house. Assuming they can remember where they grabbed the package from.

I'd be worried as well. Even if the criminals didn't remember where they got the package, now the video is going viral and it looks like the shows his home address on a map.

Edit: as someone pointed out it's not his address. I just re-watched the video and it's written on the map that it's not actually his house address.

I cannot believe I know this...but the location on the map is actually the McCallister's house from Home Alone, in Illinois, Mark lives in California.

I looked it up a few months ago...and I recognized the google map as soon as it popped up on the video.

He mentions that he used that address on the package too.
This was very well thought out.
That's amazing. He goes through a lot of explaining how he used the address for the label and I thought it was weird that he was showing us where his house was on a map.
Well, he has video of their faces, and possibly where they live, plus security cameras, so at least they'd get life or worse if they did.
I don't think arson carries life (or worse) sentencing.
When my wife worked as a prison nurse, her porter was an arsonist, doing 25 to life. Torching your ex-girlfriend's home with her inside it is looked upon dimly by the courts, even if she survives.
Arson, with people inside a house can carry an attempted murder charge.
Just claim he was a russian neo-nazi, that should get the courts kicking into action.
