CHAPEL HILL - A Chapel Hill electrical engineer who was tired of people stealing his campaign signs hooked up his electric fence to a sign and set up a video camera. His video shows a nine year old boy being shocked who was trying to grab his sign.

According to WRAL-TV, which first reported on the story, Shawn Turschak had several of his McCain-Palin campaign signs stolen from his yard and was getting upset, so he hooked up the sign to a low-voltage electric pet fence.

Turschak also installed a video camera to record anyone who went on his property to steal the signs, along with yellow warning signs about the electric charge.

"Obviously, we are not looking to hurt anyone," he told WRAL-TV. "We simply want our signs to say put...[the warning] just reminds you that you are touching somebody else's property that you shouldn't be."

His video camera recorded a neighbor's nine year old boy on Turschak's property trying to grab the sign and later on, he says he caught another neighbor on film removing his signs after he turned the electricity off.

The boy in the video can clearly be seen to be shocked and was carrying an Obama sign at the time. His father, Andrew Noble, complained to Turschak but no charges are planned to be filed against either the boy or Turschak, said the report.

My guess is that it was the 9 year olds parents who sent him over because they support the other side. Stealing signs is an easy way to express your partisan passive aggressiveness.

Pretty good guess I'd say. I tend to doubt that a 9 yr old would take that initiative on his own...
