    And if someone picks it up in good faith? Trapping something that is locked away and could only be a theft attempt is one thing, but this is a cooler sitting out in the open. There are plenty of reasons a well-meaning person might pick it up.

    This isn’t reasonable theft detterent, this is sadism.

      Honestly I can’t think of a legitimate scenario where someone who didn’t know it was rigged would be touching it.

      If I were to do this I’d make everyone I’m with very aware of it. Unless there’s gonna be kids around I don’t see how it’s an issue.

        Another commenter already gave a list of examples. In addition to those, it’s also a possibility that you or someone with you simply forgets.

        If you still think it’s a good idea, then please offer my condolences to anyone who accepts an invitation to hang out on your boat.
