<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 3302065, member: 77639"]I agree. And there can be legitimate reasons for strangers, like first responders and utility workers, to enter your property when you're not there. And yes, they have been injured by anti-burglar booby traps. See links #1. If a cop or fireman experiences even a non-lethal booby trap that sprays paint or tear gas, don't expect city attorneys or DAs to ignore it. Even if you stay out of jail and win the civil suit, your legal fees will be enormous. And the next time they're asked to help at your address ... don't expect a rapid response. Biggest danger of booby traps is probably to yourself, family and friends. See links #2.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you keep coins at home, shut-up about it and hide them and/or have a safe.
