Re: True story of another bomb scare
Two boys playing street soccer with a vaguely spherical, rust coloured object. Passing veteran recognises a Mills bomb. Confiscate said hand grenade and puts it in his car's glove box (Austin 1100 - tells you how long ago this was).
About a fortnight later the veteran delivers the Mills bomb to his local police station. It is then used as a paper weight for the desk sergeant's in-box for another 14 days until the EOD team are finally summoned.
The team leader decides that the ammunition is so unstable that it must be blown up in situ.
Lost his explosive license!
