A device or tactic used by hobos to solicit or obtain handouts from unwitting passers-by. These traps are often designed to take advantage of someone who is in a vulnerable situation, locals or other hobos, which is a direct violation of rule 3 of the hobo ethical code. Traps may occasionally be marked with hobo signs designed to covertly communicate trap effectiveness with other hobos.
I barely escaped that hobo trap back there with my wallet.

Get the Canary Trapmug. An interesting or unusual object/installation at a burn (or similar gathering) designed to distract, engage, and often inspire wonder in participants for a short/medium amount of time. (Especially relevant when the hippie trap distracts the participant from whatever they were doing and becomes the object of their full attention) Examples include, but are not limited to: interactive play-forms, interesting lights, unusual textures, uniquely decorated spaces, large flow toys, etc.
