Like Zim said, that's not perversity, that's fairness. The thief didn't have the right to take the package, and the homeowner didn't have the right to glitter-bomb the thief's car (or injure the thief). Booby-traps will almost always get the booby-trapper in trouble if the police/courts get involved.
You could go the legal booby-trap route, which would be to order something with a high enough value that it'd be a more serious crime, or get a high-level job with the feds and get something with classified information on it stolen (one of my friends actually had this happen; some kids stole a laptop out of his car, and didn't realize they took the wrong damn laptop), or stuff like that.
Of course, "legal booby-trap" in this sense is "don't do vigilante stuff and let the police take care of it."
