Store uses live scorpions to protect valuable jewelry


(NBC Newschannel) - Burglars won't be running into one Michigan jewelry store if they know what's good for them.

The store owner used a dozen scorpions to guard his one-of-a-kind and limited edition jewelry.

However, it started as a temporary display, but when the critters were removed, the customers demanded he bring them back because they just looked "cool."

The owner brought the scorpions back and now a sign advertises the store as "the most dangerous jewelry store."

The scorpions would likely make any would-be thief think twice before reaching a hand into the display.

No word on how the store clerks safely remove jewelry from the display.
