Never heard of mortars but discarded LAWs where used by the VC for a wide variety of booby traps. One common one was to line up grenades inside the tube with the pins out but packed tightly so the strike lever was still in place. They would be rigged in the treeline so a patrol could trip the device, tiliting the tube and letting the grenades roll out overt the patrol.
This was just one of many ways to make use of a discarded LAW which is why US forces where instructed to recover or "make safe" LAW tubes.
