This makes me think back to Mark Rober's porch pirate glitter bomb bit with the fart spray. I can still hear the sound it makes. ▶ this video

I you are in an apartment get with your neighbors and perhaps set up some cameras. If its an inside job, you'll have to deal with this neighbor. Its not super likely the Police are going to get greatly involved. When I had a situation where I had trouble getting packages I got a mailbox-etc mailbox where the package were dropped off at the store and I could pick them up (now the UPS Store). There is a youtube series were someone leaves fake packages with fart spray and multiple cell phones to track the packages. They're using cell phones gps to track down the packages. These people can be dangerous (one package seems to be destroyed by gun shots...) so I'm not sure confronting them on your own is a great idea. ▶ this video
Rober just put out a new video with version 3.0 of his Glitter Bomb, and the engineering is seriously impressive. I’m sure he gets lots of help on his projects from others at this point, but I still have a lot of admiration for this guy. The video is pretty funny, too! ▶ this video
