Would it be considered "entrapment" if you put up signs saying "I have thousands of dollars in Gold & Silver coins in my house". And then eventually when the thieves "hit it" they become deceased from the toxicity ?....hmmmm......I wonder

.44 Magnum works well while you're "actually home"......but this could be an interesting idea for "when you're gone" !....

Is it legal to protect "home & property" with POISON ? Call it....... Lethal Force by absentee presence !.....

I've heard of a thief suing a homeowner who had such dangerous steps (inside or outside the house he was breaking in) that he hurt himself (before, during, or immediately after the robery) and successfully won some money in a lawsuit .......(Manhattan, Ks. 20-30 years ago)

So.....the real question is then......can the "deceased victims family" sue me for "poisoning my own property" after he steals it from me ?

Answer.......PROBABLY SO !.....IT'S THE AMERICAN WAY RIGHT ?

I think the important thing to consider is that you shouldn't slab your poisoned coins, because then the thief has to break the slab to hurt himself.

The .44 mag still causes rapid lead poisoning, use gloves either way!

The only problem is that it was too slow acting...they still got away with the coins.

Biokemist is right. You can grow your own using plants like daffodils, jimsonweed or nightshade.

Until we can train our gold coins to actively identify and eliminate the enemy, I like the passive trap.

If your really want a fool proof method of not having your Gold coins stolen, try this. Have them all melted down, made into door knobs for your house. Criminals will take anything and everything. But have you ever heard of criminals taking the door knobs?
Somewhere I saw a post about a coined toilet seat. So here is one more thing to stop crooks. Have all your Gold coins placed in clear plastic and made into a toilet seat. Now just use a toilet seat cover and no one will steal that.
Look carefully at a Bee's nest. Make one like that out of foam or something like that. Make it hollow and place all your coins inside and hang it right out in plain view. Think any crooks steal a Bee's nest?
Place a bird house in your yard. Make it out of some kind of weather proof plastic. Place any coins in those and no crooks that I've ever heard of steel bird houses.
Put up signs all over about your dogs. Then purchase those fake dog turds and hollow them out for your coins. Think a criminal would steel a dog's turd?
I think I'll go into the coin security system job.

I like your ideas Just Carl..The dog turds are the best, as I have a rotweiller and he lays some big ones. It would be fuuny to watch someone try to look thru a few piles for the ones that contain coins.

There are really a lot of those when you think about them.
For example at most joke or magic stores they sell those fake vomit looking things. Place them on your bathroom floor and put all your coins inside those.
Lay out your coins on a table in room and close the door. Hang a sign on that door saying Quaranteened, contagious type of Leprosy. Place a dummy in a chair at that table with ketchup all over the head in case a criminal opens the door.
Instead of a safe purchase a coffin. Place in a room, put a dummy in there, note saying Aunt Mary, may she rest in peace after that long bout of Tsu Tsu Gamushi. Then place all your coins under that dummy.

Along the lines of Carl. Place your coins in an urn and place on mantel with sign saying "RIP Aunt Ruth"

Its illegal to set a booby trap. I don't know about inside the house. I found this out while contemplating solutions to the loss of more than a couple hood ornaments and was thinking about welding a few well placed razor blades to it.

It's really to bad. Like that guy up North that kept getting his house broken into and set a shotgun at the unlocked window. When the burglar opened the window to climb in, it blew his arm off. He was prosecuted to no end
