Mahakorin,

here in PRK, no can do.
If you set any trap with intent to injure, then you have legal problems afterwards.

Some examples...BG snuck up to a farm house with double hung windows. One of the windows had a bad bottom part of the frame...BG lifted up the bottom half of the window..he put hands on the window sill....bottom half of window came down on the hands....glass severed the hands from the wrists.....BG survived and sued the heck out of the owner and won....it was indiscriminate cruel and unusual punishment.

A little old lady in my jurisdiction decided one day to hook a little wire from an outlet to her chain link fence to keep her dogs in her yard. Little grandson, toddler, touched the fence when he was standing in water....he died....she was sued by her kids, but I think her mental punishment was much worse.

Some little punky kids broke onto the school grounds on the weekend to do mischieve (their words,more or less)...one of the kids picked up a stone and tossed it at the second story window...the principal was tired of the little punks breaking the windows on the second story, so he ordered his groundsmen to change the windows to lexan instead of windows made of glass.
You got it, the punk hit the window and the rock bounced off the plastic window and hit him in the head! the family sued and won. School districrt had to pay for the idiot's vandalism. Go figure.

Write when time permits.
