I'm in Philly. The coverage I saw on it seemed pretty fair, all things considered.

They said that it wasn't venomous, and hasn't been trouble for the owners- but that they can't guarantee how it'll react to strangers so please call 911 if you find it.

I personally think 911 is a bit of a stretch, but my parents were both LEOs so I might have more of an idea of what my options would be (non-emergency line, animal control...). That said, I'd rather anyone unfamiliar with snakes did call 911 than try to catch it themselves and get hurt and have the boa end up in the news a second time.
