Here in B.C., Canada, there was a construction contractor who was
constantly having his trailer broken into, and his tools stolen.  He
finally had enough, and put a pipe bomb inside his tool box.  He then
locked the tool box, and put it inside the construction trailer.  He
then locked the trailer.  About 1 am, the RCMP were called to a vacant
lot a little distance away because an explosion was reported.  There
were two guys in the back of a pick-up.  One guy had his head shredded,
and the other one was seriously wounded.

The construction guy was charged with manslaughter, and had to go to
court.  He claimed that he had no knowledge of how a pipe bomb could
have ended up inside his tool box.  His lawyer listed the number of
times he'd been broken in to, and suggested that the pipe bomb could
have been supplied by the victims.  The jury bought it, and the
construction guy was released; but, he had to pay a humonguous legel
bill.  The taxpayers had to pay for an expensive trial. 

Who "won"??  The lawyers...  but the break-ins stopped.
