Ten bucks says it’s a hoax. If I had gotten something like that I would have immediately gone to the closest police station. The fact that it wasn’t reported to the police is telling...particularly given that he’s smart enough to know that filing a false police report is a crime.
If I had gotten something like that, I would have thrown it in the recycling and gone on with my life. I’ve got a Governor threatening to come to my house and search it for guns if my neighbor doesn’t like me, and that seems a lot more serious of a threat.
