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.

Bolt cutters are cheap and readily available.
Don’t take shit that isn’t yours and you’ll never have to deal with this.
Booby traps are illegal dude
