Please Don't Plant Bombs on Your Way Out: Not a Good Way To Improve Your Credit Score

So evidently a foreclosed resident planted fake pipe bombs around his foreclosed home.

Because the abandoned pools full of mosquitoes, squatters, copper thieves and meth labs were not enough for the county to worry about.

From MSNBC:

A bank representative checking on a Riverside foreclosed home got a nasty surprise Tuesday afternoon when he spotted what appeared to be pipe bombs laying all over the property.

Arriving cops agreed with the bank rep and called in the bomb squad. Eight homes surrounding the vacant house at 1420 Orange Street were ordered evacuated
and a small manned armored tractor was sent in to clear the yard of what appeared to be pipe bombs.Bomb squad experts said it would take hours to make sure the property surrounding the home is clear.

Police said after the yard is given an "all clear" they would tackle the issue of whether the home is booby trapped. Sgt. Jaybee Brennan of the Riverside Police Department said police think there are more pipe bombs inside the house.
