Burglar trap tale ends with mixed lesson on prudence
A man describes building a boobytrapped house in the suburbs with electric lights a gas line and a secret alarm to catch burglars. A staged newspaper article lures a visitor who is captured by the trap but his partner the burglaress turns out to be the wife of a reformed criminal and is released after a dramatic revelation. The piece blends memoir irony with cautionary humor.
