As the Christmas season intensifies the donations brought into Goodwill, a store in Chicago received a bomb scare after a grenade was left in their donation box on Saturday, Dec. 11. The hand grenade was discovered in the donation box of the Goodwill store in New Lenox, Illinois at one in the afternoon, when an employee working that day noticed the package and called law enforcement. The store was promptly evacuated while the staff waited for the bomb squad, according to the New York Daily News. When the Cook County Bomb Squad inspected the bomb, however, they deemed it inactive and stated that it posed no threat to the customers of the Goodwill store. The site was back in operation by three in the afternoon, Patch reported.
