Rat poison would be reckless endangerment. Like gun trapping an empty house. There are non lethal approaches.
A friend told me of a time at TPC where a plate of brownies laced with Ex-Lax was left in the fridge for the resident fridge thief. It worked well. Five brownies were missing. The suspected thief clocked out sick less than an hour into his shift and there was evidence that he didn't make it out of the building without shitting himself.

No so contrived. These are the phones that are entering the used market. The early adopters are getting the next great iPhone and selling their old one. A lot of these users don't want to spend time or money upgrading the OS of an old phone and may be blissfully unaware of the security issues of the outdated OS.
