In Russia, a 73-year-old man finally had enough of trespassers pillaging his garden in an attempt to to steal his precious potatoes and decided to take matters into his own hands. The man constructed three homemade tripwire landmines in his garage and planted them sporadically throughout the garden to ward off any unwanted visitors. Police learned off the explosives after an unlucky trespasser snuck into the garden and set of one of the crude landmines, injuring himself in the blast. The elderly man was convicted of unlawful construction of weapons and slapped with a 2 ½ year sentence.

WOW… Even if it was unlawful, that was friggin’ sweet.
He should have strung wire around the area and put up a sign that it was electrified, that way the thieving bastards wouldn’t have had anything to say because they would have been warned of the danger. It’s a shame that it had to go that far but he really was at fault for not exercising the common sense that mutilation and/or murder trumps theft in any court! I wonder if they let him plant potatoes on the inside and if they do if the other inmates steal them, lol! Wouldn’t THAT be ironic?
i wish i could get away with doing that to deter snowmobilers going through my yard.
Those Russians have no sense of humor. We bomb them once, they bomb us ten times harder.
Never mess with a veteran.
Kewlest old man ever!
i shall buy him a hot tea!
Sounds exactly like what my grandfather did! Well, Except he used a long piece of barbed wire connected by trees across his lawn to keep a few four-wheeler riders off his perfect grass. Let’s just say- It worked well.
Hey, 2 and a half years is a short sentence for making bombs.
that was awesome
man i bet if he put a sign saying that beware of land mines if you tresspass you will die. and random thought but did that guy make vodka out of the potatoes cause that would be a great reason to blow some shit up over potatoes not that he needed one it is his property
I know someone could’ve been killed, but this is freakin HILARIOUS!
Yeah, he should have put a sign up, though something a little more inventive than: WARNING! BOMBS!
