Let me add one more: he's done this several times already which is the reason the kids added bricks in the first place.

Reminds me of my grandfather, these kids kept knocking his mailbox down with baseball bats. After the second time it was hit, he put up a new one filled with concrete. The very next morning there was half a wooden baseball bat on the ground and a dent in the mailbox. They never did it again.

I've heard basically the same story before from a local incident, but with the added bonus of the other side: they used a metal bat and the kid dislocated his arm and was almost pulled right out of the car.

To make it worse, if they set a boobytrap on purpose that's illegal ( in in the US) and the kids could be liable.

Putting a brick in a snowman is not a booby trap lmao.
