Sometimes home security tips include advice about setting traps in your home. It's not hard to imagine stopping an intruder by having various tripwires that might do anything from delivering an electric shock to (for those who have watched a few too many horror films) opening a cage that releases deadly snakes. I've even heard of a few strange folks setting a hidden bear trap.
While most of us don't often entertain such violent thoughts, if someone was to break into our homes, a feeling of anger and retribution could likely flare up. There's something satisfying about imagining the intruder getting his just deserts.
But be aware that setting traps that can kill or seriously injure a burglar is illegal. Believe it or not, this kind of homemade home security equipment is not within a homeowner's rights. You could actually find the law turned back on you.
Instead, go the legal route. Get a home security review and compare security companies. Legal equipment is much safer, and you wouldn't want to step in that bear trap while sleepwalking.
