Cambridge Police report a bomb technician, an explosives-sniffing dog and firefighters rushed to Antrim Street and Broadway around 7:30 p.m. Monday on a report of an unattended briefcase on a park bench.
A bomb technician and K-9 cleared the briefcase and discovered that it contained a xylophone belonging to the band of a nearby school.

Has to be a contender to make the UHub Top Ten for 2018!
Xylorelief
Best Ubub headline ever!!! People, vote with thumbs up. We need something to smile about...
I thought that maybe Xylorelief® was some sort of cold medicine
or antihistamine, and upon opening the briefcase, the technician actually inhaled its fumes.
If it was in a briefcase
it was probably a glockenspiel, not a xylophone.

That explains the bomb squad.
It's one of those East German tactical briefcase glockenspiels that went missing at the end of the Cold War.
I'm curious. Has any
I'm curious. Has any "suspicious device" incident in the USA ever been found to be an actual bomb?
About a month ago, yes
That's why there were no injuries when Mr. WackyVan sent out multiple bombs.
Yes. Bomb in a backpack, Boston Marathon 2013.

Yes, A month ago
