The Peculiar Press: Get Off My Lawn You Damn Kids!

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.
