Hopefully this is nothing, much like the suits, hat boxes and other suitcases left around town. I am guessing this is an ipod with a pair of headphones
what strip mall is this?
it was probably a discarded capacitor from an AC unit.
There is something so touching about seeing a LPD officer whisking a helpless baby in a crib to safety. thank you for all the hard work you do!
Where did the kiddies go?
to the LPD, you guys rock, so nice to see a little softer side of these brave men. thank you, and G-d bless you for all you do.
welcome to the world of overreaction.
Why can’t you give another police department some credit???? We are always your back up. Good job Brick PD.
Sounds to me like there is alittle bit of paranoia here.
A waste of Tax Dollars
at #10..typical no-nothing. hmmm, a waste of tax dollars when someone finds what appears to be an explosive device, and there are small children in the building right next to it. but, if the police disregard the object and it blows up, you would be criticizing them for not doing anything. do us all a favor and go away.
