Well Things Don't Change

[ollie]

Mt neighbor deployed some like that a few years back for revenge on someone. They were a lot smaller than the one you have pictured. We were fishing a remote area on Grand and were heading back downstream in our kayaks when he heard a noise of glass breaking. Some young punks had gotten bored and decided to put a large stone through his windshield on the 4runner. We actually saw them get in the car and take off. Being it was a gravel road we got in his 4runner and started to chase them down to get a license plate number. They finally got to a stop sign and he cut them off. After following them back to their house so we could talk with the parents about the cost of a new windshield. The parents then blamed us for following the kids in a high purist chase! You can see this didn't go well. Neighbor had to drive an hour and a half to file police report and then nothing ever happened. He decided to get some justice, so he went back late at night put those in the driveway. I still wouldn't want to step on the smaller ones as well.

Guessing it was a drug house?  Believe they are called caltrops or something like that.

Yep, caltrops.  Caesar fought the Gauls at a place called Alesia, the site has been extensively excavated and they found quite a few caltrops the Romans had put out in front of their lines.  They were used in the Middle Ages too.  Mainly as a defense against cavalry.
