A buddy and I were arrested in high school for blowing up a mailbox. Only time I ever been arrested! Used a quarter stick of dynamite gotten from a friends' friend, I didnt believe it. Looked like an M-180 firecracker. Had no idea it was gonna be bad. Just thought it was gonna blow door open. Lit it closed the door and the mailbox blew about 30 feet up in the air and hit the ground inside out. My buddies heard it almost a mile away. People ran outside and noticed my big ole ford 4x4 and called the poe poe's. They brought the bomb squad and all kinds of stuff. A car patrolling my neighborhood saw my truck and came pick me up! 60 hrs of community service!
