Police: Man Sets Off His Own Booby Trap (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hiD-wIDSS7pZ9c1ebcPfjo9YAPUg)
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A man tired of burglars nearly blew off his hand when bomb-like devices he set around his house exploded in his presence instead, authorities said.
Victor Iacobescu, 50, ran to a neighbor's house Thursday with a bloody towel wrapped around his right hand.
"Apparently, he was trying to set booby traps to get the next guy who tried to break in," fire Lt. Maggie Murphy said.
[...]
"Anything that goes `bang' is illegal," police Lt. Bruce Ferguson said. "I can't think of any (legal) reason why someone would be making a bomb."
In another story (http://www.shortnews.com/start.cfm?id=64924) on this it said that he had lost much of his right arm and that the whole street had been cordoned off while the bomb squad investigates.
Not all self-defense ideas are equally good!
