Who takes the time to rig their house with booby traps?

Maybe someone who has all the money, all the imagination, and all the time. So it's easy to put in a trap on the front door, and a trap in the kitchen, and slippery floors in the bathroom, and a mattress that eats whoever is committing nefarious deeds there up. Maybe a flamethrower in the lawn.

Catch is, in this episode of CSI: NY, there is no lawn. This is a penthouse. So, whoever booby-trapped the penthouse must be really, really, really bored. And very ingenious, too. So the team answers a 911 call from this penthouse. Naturally, they go to the scene of the crime. Catch is, they now have to deal with this booby-trapped house, with things swinging from the ceilings, and dropping from the walls, and maybe explosions, too, but real estate in New York is freaking expensive.

The sucky thing about this? They don't find the caller. They do find a body, but it's of a guy who's been killed around a hundred years ago. So, it's either a ghost tossed a prank call at 911--easily let go, yes!--or someone wants the team dead. Are we dealing with another twisted serial killer here? That sounds farfetched, but so is a guy who wants to watch a police team drawn into an unwitting adventure. You know, like playing Tomb Raider on your consoles.

CSI: NY returns with a new episode tonight from 10pm on CBS. The photos arrived late, but still, they arrived, and they are right below.
