Thankfully not!  Knock on wood!  Luckily no one has gotten that creative yet here.  Though maybe I'll buy a ballistic shield just in case...

Nope. If it's on the MLS I can't imagine it being booby trapped Jeff Pearl but I do remember stories from a few years back during the height of the foreclosure period where homes were stripped of everything including the floor right up to the door.

Philly has always been violent but not too bad during Rizzo's reign. This confirms that the City of Brotherly Love needs a name change.
