CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Shawn Turschak of Chapel Hill was tired of someone
stealing McCain-Palin campaign signs from his yard. Turschak, with a
degree in electrical engineering, hooked up a third sign to a power
source for an electric pet fence Monday and also put up a surveillance
camera.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that a 9-year-old boy with an
Obama-Biden sign grabbed the McCain-Palin sign and got a jolt on Tuesday.

The boy's father, Andrew Noble, upset that his son had been shocked,
showed up at Turschak's door. Soon an Orange County sheriff's deputy also
showed up at the Turschak's home.

Noble said his son just wanted to see how the sign was put together.
Turschak said the boy intended to swap out the signs.

Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass said he doesn't plan to file charges.

I had a mailbox run over 3 times. They drove directly over the top of it.
The fourth time I bought a springloaded metal pole and filled it with
cement. Should cause quite a bit of damage if they try it again!
