A concerned campus worker called the police after spotting a "suspicious object" in a stormwater drain near the base of campus at UC Santa Cruz earlier today.
The Santa Cruz County Bomb Team responded by blocking off the entire entrance, and blasting the object with a water cannon.
Unfortunately, I slept through my classes today, and didn't get to witness the excitement. I got about 3 emails from the campus "CruzAlert" system.
Apparently "Geocaching" is a game where players look for stashed objects (geocaches) using GPS receivers. I bet the person who put the box in the drain is pretty embarrassed!
