Hopefully, the lesson won't be how to sue someone for booby trapping, which is illegal in many states (maybe all, for all I know). REALLY hopefully the guy won't have a cardiac event due to the shock.

See some kid walking around with a bright orange crotch, and you know what he was up to.

The only issue I see is a wrong number, or a solisisation call, that give a whole new meaning to wrong number.

That and the contact points on a bike are where, hands, feet, and taint (OUCH)
