<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 759540, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> Back right after the 911 attacks. A friend and I were hired to help go through an old apartment. I found a huge 5 ft practice bomb in a closet. it belonged to the guy who was cleaning out his mother,s apartment. the bomb was bright blue and you could see it was empty. He had bought it in an Army Navy surplus store. He planned on taking it on the airplane when he went back to California. I said are you crazy there is no way that is going on a airplane. He called several airlines and they thought he was demented. He then thought he would ship it back to CA by the Post Office after calling several Post Offices we were surrounded by several FBI agents and a hazmat crew. Even though it was okayed by the departments. He asked me to freight it to him after a couple of weeks. The whole time going home I kept thinking if anyone stops the car and finds the bomb I would go to jail or be shot. A month later I had a moving company take the box to go to California. The guy paid for the shipping but never thanked me for going through the trouble.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
