>From the Sumter, South Carolina "Item":

"A device that appeared to be a bomb on a vehicle parked outside Simpson's
Hardware and Sports on Wesmark Boulevard kept local and state authorities
busy for nearly four hours Friday before the object was found to be a
tracking system placed on the car by the driver's wife....."

>From the picture of the device in the article, I can see why they thought it
was a bomb.
