Only problem is that if someone is killed by a Booby Trap, the person creating and setting the trap are liable for up to murder.

I was so pissed when I had an expensive radar detector stolen, I thought about putting black powder in the case and wiring a model rocket engine to the power connector of an old unit. And then placing it on the dashboard for a thief to see.

My dad had one of the Judges he knew at the criminal Court call me to discuss my idea. Needless to say I came to the conclusion it was not a good idea.

Quoted from bobukcat:
Late 80s, early 90s I worked for Cincinnati Microwave (Escort and Passport Radar Detectors $$$), if owners had theirs stolen and sent in a copy of the police report we filed that. If that unit ever came in for service (we had the S/N in more than one spot so even if they filed it off the back we could find it) we'd hold it and notify the police in the jurisdiction it was reported and give them the information of who sent / brought (we had counter service) it in for service. I doubt this lead to many arrests but I know we returned a good number of them to rightful owners, including one of my good friends who had his stolen by one of his other "friends". When one of the last hack-job "turn-around" CEOs came in (not long before I left) one of the first things he did was stop this practice as he figured it just meant more sales for us if the victims bought a replacement unit. God, I despised that asshole!

I had an original Gen I Escort stolen in 1982. I reported it to Cincinnati Microwave. I bought a replacement. When the Passport came out I disassembled my replacement unit and noticed the serial number inside the unit as well.

I like Mike Valentine and have an upgraded V1. Also bought my son a Gen 2 Valentine.

Quoted from ultimategameroom:
Anyone who says defund the police or is anti police quickly change their minds when someone is trying to kick in their door at 2:00 am... 911 HELP me! send an officer ASAP!!!!

Send a social worker over to talk to the MF kicking in the door. But he or she better get there quick before a 12ga goes Ka-Blam and disintegrates the door.
