Buy packets of Kool-aid. Make a concentrate. Pour in hose before turning on the water. The first sprayed water will be harmless dye. If 1/

How would they prove that?
The device you used to spray the person who got attacked is proof enough.

how did the person get sprayed if the device doesnt trigger till they are on your property

This video is from the town I live in. I just watched it on my local news app ha!
waitbutactually
Are there lots of porch pirates/thieves or just the occasional hooligan?
Unfortunately, my town is so underdeveloped and small, there’s quite a lot of this happening. Lots of drugs and homelessness
I used to live amongst the homeless and drug scene and it’s very difficult to get out of. never did anything like this.saw it happen a lot
Went to rehab in another town, almost a year sober ??
Congrats! I work with addicts and it's hard to make it that far
Thank you?
How difficult is it to get that much skunk spray?
wyrde
Had had actual skunks. The occasional screams in the middle of the night were very entertaining. Skunks didn't even spray most of the time.
not really difficult unless the skunk as erectile dysfunction
JohnCougarConcentrationCamp
Back in the late Eighties I used to wrap slim razor blades around my stereo wires because I got tired of having my deck stolen. Worked.
thomn8r
A friend did that on a K5 Blazer: razor blades epoxied to the back of the radio. He went out one morning and there was blood everywhere.

That's actually a great idea

I think this one would be a bit harder to argue. It's one thing if, like the post, you leave your garage door open. Clear cut case there
Laws being broken require broken laws sometimes...just don't steal. I could care less buddy-o.
friendsofsandwiches
"excuse me officer! I cut my hand in that man's car because of razor blades he has on his stereo setup!"
Fastjack2056
Nah, taghashtag is correct - this is a case of "two wrongs don't make a right". A judge would have to punish you both.
...which is probably why this guy is using a hose instead of a pellet gun.
pfshfine
Or a flamethrower...
pokebug666
Or, a paramedic cuts their hand because they had a legitimate need to move it. The boobytrap doesn't know the difference.
You think what I wrote is unreasonable but a quick google search would reveal that in fact, booby trapping your property is illegal.
right. And MY point is, are they going to go to the cops to SAY they were stealing something but got hurt in the process?
Yes and they might win without ever admitting they were trying to steal, just trespass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katko_v._Briney
When they sue... yes
FrostyRaptor
Is that pepper spray, if not can it be?
i mean anything can be
Copperbrat
No. It's unlawful to booby trap your own property with anything potentially harmful or anything that would deter first responders.

Waters fine, but ammonia, bleach, urine etc. That would likely end poorly, especially after the case of Katko v. Briney.
mrose50
Just not ammonia and bleach together or it makes chlorine gas. HOA is bad enough, wouldn't want to see fine for breaching Geneva convention.
PS before someone comments. Obv a joke and I know wouldn't breach GC if not by a military but the thought was amusing enough to justify.
tzk132
Urine is sterile. I'm not a doctor but it shouldn't be harmful, right?
Sterile AND delicous!
Millsslslsls
Ya, but if someone filled a bucket with spit, sterilised it and then threw it at someone I'd say it's still some kind of assault

Urine is not sterile once it leaves the body.

That case involved booby traps, deadly force, and an abandoned property. This might be a bit different. Hopefully. I hate thieves.
This is still a booby trap. Probably wouldn't result in charges if it's just water, but anything else (urine, ammonia, bleach, etc) would.
