I was out of town on the Big Piney River all weekend so I hadn't heard about
it until I picked up troutboy from my parents' house yesterday afternoon in
Washington. My mom asked if I had heard about it. Maybe Tim was trying to
be inventive with a new cache. ;-)

this story was also on the ksdk site..... Interesting that this story
would be on with the geocaching story. :-)
*KSDK)* - A suspicious device forced police to shut down a neighborhood in
Washington, Missouri Saturday morning. A resident spotted the object on
the 400 block of East 3rd street.
"It was wrapped in duct tape and had like a motherboard from a computer
and I noticed. I didn't want to touch it," Thomas Reilly Jr. said. Reilly
called the Washington Police Department at 8:30 a.m. Police say the
cylinder-shaped device resembled a pipe bomb.
"We have no indication that it was intended to harm anyone," Lt. Jim
Armstrong said. "It could be an object that appeared to be an explosive
device to scare someone. But we're not sure."
The St. Louis County Arson and Explosives Unit used a robot to remove the
device from the street. A team will conduct tests to determine whether the
device is dangerous, Armstrong said.
Police also said a cellular phone was spotted approximately 10 feet away
from where the device was found. The phone did not have a battery. Police
cannot determine whether the phone and the device are connected.
Armstrong said it could be at least another day before the explosive's
team confirms whether the device is a bomb.
Reilly said he cannot imagine why anyone would leave a dangerous device
near his home, in the middle of the street. Other neighbors in this small
quiet neighborhood agree.
"Not something you'd see here," Lucille Peters said.

** I knew there were bears in MO but didn't realize how many. Might need
to start spraying on some bear repellant along with the tick spray when
out caching.
