Shed Protection
Shed Protection
| (August 2002, Netherlands) A 66-year-old
Margraten resident wanted to protect his garden shed against
burglars. The best way to do this, he decided, was to construct a
booby trap. He cobbled together some ropes and a shotgun aimed at
the door. Proud of his ingenuity, he demonstrated the effectiveness
of the device to two friends by shooting himself in the abdomen and
lower arm. An emergency operation prevented him from winning a
Darwin Award. Police searched his home, and confiscated firearms and
ammo, along with 15 full-grown marijuana plants that perhaps helped
him formulate this painful lesson in safety.
