yes, it has happened.I found a story, originally written by Dan Rozek, of
the Chicago Sun-Times, and cited on Overlawyered.com,
which tells how the family of a burglar who broke into a
tavern in Aurora, Illinois was awarded $75,000 when he was
electrocuted by a homemade security device. Although
warning signs were posted, the burglar was drunk and high
on cocaine, and didn't see the warnings.
