‘Boom Box’ with shotgun blank stops porch thieves

By Around the Web

(THE NEWS TRIBUNE) — After the fourth time it happened in recent months, Jaireme Barrow was tired of people stealing the packages off his South Tacoma front porch.

“I didn’t know what was going on for a minute,” he said. “I thought it was somebody being shot because I heard her scream, so I grabbed my Mace and went outside.”
