I present to you the following example of a recent call:
"Complainant advised she found a suspicious metal object in the middle of the roadway. She picked it up to prevent a car from hitting it, thinks it looks strange and that it may be an explosive object inside. Complainant has taken the object to her house but is afraid to put it in the trash because she doesn't want the trash can to explode. Requests someone to come look at it."
This is why I'll always have job security.

"This report is maybe 12-years-old. Parliament buried it, and it stayed buried till River dug it up. This is what they feared she knew. And they were right to fear because there's a whole universe of folk who are gonna know it, too. They're gonna see it. Somebody has to speak for these people. You all got on this boat for different reasons, but you all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything I know this, they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, 10, they'll swing back to the belief that they can make people . . . better. And I do not hold to that. So no more running. I aim to misbehave." ~ Captain Malcom Reynolds

So, um... what was it?
Er... WHA... She took it INSIDE??? God watches out for fools and idiots, and she qualifies on BOTH counts!
And job security IS a good thing...
How many times did she handle it? Change it's location and generally risk her life and well-being???
I am assuming that it was not a loud go-bang thingy or she wouldn't have been around to make the phone call!
Thought this might interest you ...

The interesting thing in this story is that initially they drove the chemicals about 2.5hrs north to the main police HQ and stuck them in the evidence lockup there.
Eventually (apparently due to the smell) someone decided to take a second look at them and that's when they realised they were explosives.
