About booby traps --
In the last century in England landowners would often set
up traps on their land with the expected results that a few poachers
and a lot of stray children got shot.  The question then and now
is the following -- 
Are you justified in doing something by an automatic
mechanism that you may not do yourself?

Now I started out by saying that the razor blades in the
radio is a good way to get your car trashed, not to get sued,
but remember, if someone gets hurt they are likely to find a lawyer,
and don't doubt there are plenty of lawyers who would be glad to
sue on behalf of a thief.

Of course if you hit the jackpot and a mechanic/tow truck driver
or best of all a peace officer got cut up I suggest you move to
Paraguay on the next plane.
