This was one of the way you could catch a thief in old days
Make a fake packet with a cheap black camera or other junk inside.
Caution use glove.
Buy some silver nitrate (ebay it). dissolved crystal in water, brush the camera with the solution and let it dry. Keep it out of sunlight, wrap it and put it in the packet.
If you don't use glove, when you handle silver nitrate this will happen to you and the thief and you can't wash it off.
Over the next days, you can see who got dirty hands.
silver nitrate is not poison, but that does not mean you should eat it. Cooking salt can also kill.
Here is a guy who took to much of it. I guess we can call him "Papa smurf"
I don't know how well it work with a person with darker skin pigmentation.
Silver Nitrate is used in extremely low concentrations to prevent gonorrhea and control nose bleeds, but silver nitrate is still very much toxic and corrosive. It can cause burns and severe irritation in high concentrations. Brief exposure will not produce any immediate side effects other than the purple, brown or black stains on the skin but I think your recommendation is a very bad idea.
The guy who turned silver did NOT consume silver nitrate. He turned blue because he suffered form Argyria, a condition he acquired by consuming Colloidal Silver, (a colloid consisting of silver particles suspended in distilled water). He died of a heart attack about two years ago.
