A columnist at the Denver Post wrote an article about all the robberies.
And some readers felt so bad for Phil Conahan that they sent him money and replacement tools.
It didn't take long, though, for those donated tools to be stolen, too.
Phil Conahan says that he had no idea who was doing this.
Were you worried about it shooting the wrong person and someone who wasn't doing anything wrong might get hurt?
Four people had broken into the warehouse the night before.
One of them, a 19-year-old, set off the shotgun and was killed.
Police waited until the morning to go inside the building and retrieve the body because they were afraid of another booby trap going off.
The owner of a restaurant near Phil's warehouse told reporters that the victim had terrorized the area and that he was a skinhead with a visible tattoo that said, White Pride.
The restaurant owner said, If I would have faced a situation where I asked and asked and couldn't get help, I would have done the same thing to protect my property.
Business owners in the area started putting up signs saying their buildings were booby-trapped too.
One of them burned down because firefighters refused to enter it until they could determine that it was safe.
He was fined $2,500, placed on probation for six years, and ordered to pay $7,000 to the family of the victim.
Did you ever see the family of the person who was killed?
