Police Shoot Teddy at Jehovah's Witness Hall

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A Danish bomb squad shot to pieces a teddy bear left on the doorstep of a Jehovah's Witness hall on Thursday evening with a note saying it contained a bomb, police said.
A group of Jehovah's Witnesses on their way into a meeting had found the cuddly toy with a note reading: "If you touch me I will blow up. I am a bomb."

Police told the 80 Jehovah's Witnesses to leave the hall in a quiet suburb six miles northwest of Copenhagen, and closed off the surrounding area to traffic.

A bomb-disposal robot then approached the bear. "The bomb unit fired two shots at the teddy bear and there was no reaction. There is nothing that indicates that there actually was a bomb," a Copenhagen police duty officer told Reuters.

Police said they were trying to establish who was responsible for the hoax.

Why didn't they just use Oscars trash can as the Bomb Disposal Unit recovery drum?
