Something suspicious downtown

[Igniter]

I should have gotten tickets, my plan of listening to it on the radio now looks like a bad bad idea.

Cool.

Thanks for the updates, everyone.

This is what I was told from someone who worked at the building:

apparently the cops saw the guy drop off the package and then start running. They followed him and he started driving down the wrong way on one way. The cops did catch him is what I heard.

I have pics of the robot putting the suspicious package into the "ORB" detonating cylinder.

HOpefully no one gets hurt. It made for an exciting day at work though.

Personally, I would not have a robot THAT DROPS THE FATAING PACKAGE!!!!.

Is this a SNL skit? Is the robot being played by Martin Short? Good Grief.
