For future reference you may want to know that anti-theft devices like that (Razor blades) are technically illegal - it's not OK to lay booby traps for thieves that will cause grievous harm.
I thought it would be cool to rig up something so that if anyone touched the car, they'd get electrocuted. Nope, can't do it. The law is based on the fact that someone might "accidentally" fall victim. Like say you installed your razors, forgot about them, sold the car and the new owner decided he might like to remove the amps....
I'm surprised you didn't get charged.
How ironic that we can't protect our property with deadly force when thieves can use deadly force to steal it. I guess that's what separates them from us?
