Knowing Tennessee drivers, I can't blame him

A Tennessee man’s DIY “rubber bumper” caused a false “bomb threat” and led to local businesses closing and nearby schools being sent into lockdown for hours. 

Police in Murfreesboro were called to First Watch restaurant Tuesday morning about a “bomb” strapped to a car in the parking lot of the “health-minded” cafe.

I have no dents, dings or scrapes on the front or rear of either of my vehicles, they're all on the sides, collected in various parking lots in the area.

  1. The connected wires were a poor choice. With current events, any package or device with wires would cause alarm.

    1. No shit!
      “No charges were filed against the car’s owner”
      Well duh. Just because someone is freaked out by something doesn’t mean they get to arrest someone. 🙄

  3. Ya wanna wrap shit on your car as long as it doesn't block your vision it's none of the cop’s business. All this shit was caused by frightened, whiney assholes with cellphone cameras wantin’ to be on the TV News. Take them phones away and the twits would walk right past the vehicle.

  6. Anyone remember the Christmas bomb a while back? People in Nashville are a bit touchy about VBIEDs.

  7. I saw a pic somewhere on the internet where someone uses swimming pool noodles to protect his doors. Myself I park at the far end of the parking lot, a little walking won't hurt me.

  8. The dings on my truck are all related to farm/ranch/firewood work, except for the front bumper damage when I struck a small deer a few months ago. The car has a series of dings from parking lots and some idiot with a tractor that could not drive, at a house my wife was visiting once.
