“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law enforcement agency for assistance”
De ouders waren geschrokken van de vondst van hun kind en hadden de politie gebeld. Het ging om een aantal kleine brisantgranaten. Volgens de politie had hij ze als ‘trofeeën’ mee naar huis genomen. “Niet handig!”, schrijft de politie Best-Oirschot op Facebook. Volgens de agenten wist de jongen niet dat het om echte granaten ging. Omdat de granaten bruin waren en de vorm van een drol hadden, dacht het kind dat het ook echt om drollen ging, zo laat een woordvoerder van de politie weten.

Heeze-Leende municipality, Reusel locality. A child equipped with a rope and a magnet “catches” from a canal somw unexploded grenades (all of the HE type). Of course, the little hobbyist does not recognize the devices, he thinks that they are “curious” objects to keep. In fact, he detaches the devices from the magnet (an operation that must never be performed!) and then he transports them home. The parents see the ammunition and report everything to the police. Agents and bomb squads arrive on the spot. They carefully remove the devices. In many municipalities this hobby is prohibited, the remaining municipalities in the Netherlands should also prohibit it. I wonder why close your eyes to the danger that remnants of war and magnets infuse on hobbyists, passers-by, residents and law enforcement agencies? Tiziana Piscitelli
Comune Heeze-Leende, località Reusel. Un bambino munito di cima e magnete da un canale “pesca” più granate inesplose e tutte del tipo HE. Naturalmente il piccolo hobbista, non riconosce gli ordigni, lui pensa che siano “curiosi” oggetti da conservare. Infatti dal magnete stacca (operazione da non compiere mai!) gli ordigni e li trasporta a casa. I genitori vedono le munizioni e segnalano tutto alla Polizia. Sul posto giungono agenti e artificieri. Questi ultimi con estrema cautela rimuovono gli ordigni. In molti Comuni questo hobby è vietato, dovrebbero proibirlo anche i restanti Comuni dei Paesi Bassi. Mi chiedo perché continuare a chiudere gli occhi al cospetto del pericolo che residuati bellici e magneti infondono a hobbisti, passanti, residenti e le stesse Forze dell’Ordine?
In Nijmegen is het sowieso verboden om met een metaaldetector te zoeken.’Kom je zomaar onverwacht een vliegtuigbom of andere munitie tegen, bel dan de politie via 112, zo luidt het advies van de gemeente. Als het nodig is, schakelt de politie de EOD in. Die opruimingsdienst neemt dan verdere veiligheidsmaatregelen, bijvoorbeeld een ontruiming van het gebied.
Dear editors, Biography of a bomb is aimed at highlighting the danger caused by unexploded bombs.
