Booby trap it with something that sprays this out of the box.

Put a 0.25-0.5 sec delay, so it doesn't spray the lid of the box.

It's an oily fluid. Concentrated raccoon urine.

I promise he'll never forget this experience. Ever.

It's persistent like skunk spray. But it smells like piss. And shit.
Unmistakably.

After you open the jar, you'll need to Triple bag the bottle, or throw it away in a dumpster.
Wear disposable gloves when handling

It's an oil, so you don't notice it as wet (if contaminated), due to a lack of evaporation (and lower specific heat).

Dab some under a vehicle door handle, and the driver will thoroughly contaminate the vehicle interior.

Or put it on the bottom exterior of a tool bag (in the tool box).
He'll probably grabs the entire bag, and toss it in his getaway vehicle.
The vehicle will reek for weeks.
