Police: Man Sets Off His Own Booby Trap

LANSING, Mich. - 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.

Iacobescu had been the victim of several break-ins, she said.

The neighbor, Patrick Struble, said the explosives were "like a pipe bomb. He accidentally triggered it, and it almost blew his hand off."

Police were investigating with the intent to pursue charges.

"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."

Well, I guess he won't be trying to take the law into his own hands again. :doh:

Some people. What he is doing is premeditated, dangerous and thankfully illegal. Not that I care for burglars, but better this guy get hurt than some innocent bystander who just happened upon his yard.

Very good point about an innocent bystander.


What was this guy thinking? Nevermind, he wasn't...
