BTW, the trick for that is to stuff a wet handkerchief or small cloth in the neck. Then tip the BB or carboy to settle the stopper on the cloth. When you pull out the cloth, the stopper will come with it. It helps if the inside is wet - especially with something like star san in it.

What I did to them after reading about people slicing themselves up so bad they lost nerves and movement in their arms when their bottles cracked on them was to wrap them in heavy gauge aluminum screening I got from the BORG and used Duct tape to keep it there.
This way, If I'm holding one in my arms and it cracks and falls apart, I won't also be trying not to get sliced to ribbons. The metal screening should contain it.
I've read that other folks capture them in GreatStuff foam inside purloined milk crates.
you can go to jail for merely possessing those things.
There's a Texas case where some kitchen laborer guy was out behind the restaurant where he worked and sat on one while smoking a but and a cop came by and cited him for it because in TX the law contemplates unauthorized use. Usually these low level cases never get reported, but his attorney must have been trying to make a name for himself and took it to appellate - where he lost.
