[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7615944, member: 23751"] I've been through it. A year after we moved into our house, I came home from work like any other day. I saw nothing unusual when I got home. Once inside I began to talk about the day with my wife and about 5 minutes later the phone rang. It was my neighbor who asked if I had looked outside recently. When I told her no, she said, "Well, the bomb squad is on your lawn." I immediately got up and walked outside and sure enough, there were 4 cops on my lawn crouched behind the bomb squad truck. I walked up to them and asked them if there was something I should be aware of. One turned around and..........finished speaking. I didn't interrupt. He told me that the mailman had noticed a suspicious package in the mail box that was about 50 yards from my house. After my third of fourth check-in, I was told that it was in fact an explosive device. I live in a very quiet neighborhood so it was a fairly substantial shock. I also got to find out that the robot that blows up bombs with its water gun sounds like a bomb going off. It's loud as hell. [/QUOTE]
