Stupid as it is...the "thief" in this situation could actually press charges. 100% would not recommend.

Hard to say. You cant set Booby traps on your property because the can impede emergency workers, but I'm not sure what the law says about booby trapping an object.

It’s not hard to say, booby traps are never legal.

What if said booby traps involve comical pies to the face instead of razors to the fingers?

If you can really make it harmless then you'd likely be fine. It would be pretty equivalent to those antitheft ink tags.
