even if it was private property (i know it wasn't), i would guess that it's probably illegal to set a "trap" like that.

I'm pretty sure it's irrelevant whether the land is public or private.

you can't even set up Home Alone style traps in your own house.

quote:

People v. Ceballos, 12 Cal. 3d 470 (1974). Ceballos resided above a garage that had been broken into previously. He noticed that the lock had been tampered with and set up a "trap gun". Basically a .22 rifle wired to the door. Two youths subsequently broke into the dwelling and one was shot in the face but survived.
Ceballos was convicted by a jury of assault with a deadly weapon and appealed to the California Supreme Court. The Court upheld the conviction on a number of grounds. Of interest to us is the trap gun
