There were some tense moments at a U-Haul facility in Tempe on Friday.
A 14-foot truck was returned to the company's Priest Drive location around 3 p.m.
When a manager opened it up, he spotted some items he thought looked suspicious.
According to Vice President of Product and Safety, "It didn’t take me long to call people let’s put it that way."
Doug Matteson from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office explains what happened next.
"We opened it up, we saw some items that kinda looked linked to suspicious activity…we are not saying this is involved with terrorism…we saw some items that kinda bring some attention to our Deputies that work anti-terrorism. We called them out to make sure, have them go through everything."
The Sheriff Office confirms there were no guns, explosives, or hazardous materials found in the truck.
They do say there was a messy pile of suspicious documents and files.
There were also some other items that the Sheriff’s Office said it was not prepared to comment on.
The FBI says it was aware of the discovery but according to agent Deb McCarley "there is nothing to suggest it is terrorist related."
Investigators will continue combing through the documents and are trying to dig up more information about the person who last rented the truck.
Sounds like whatever there was... they took it to wherever they were going.
You got that right. Same here.
I will neither confirm nor deny this may or may not be the vaguest article I may or may not have read in my hypothetical life.
So I may or may not be pissed.
Isn’t it though? If you were this guy wouldn’t you be describing in detail what you saw? (unless you were asked not to)
I fully endorse your statement with a positive “maybe”.
Nothing to see here................

Oh,Oh,Oh, I wanna know now!
That kind of bravado is uncalled for here.
For WHAT?!? :^)
To see if there is any info later... there sure wasn't in the article.
This should clear things up. LOL
Matteson said that he believes the truck has been at that U-Haul location for 3 to 6 months and that as far as he knows no one has had access to it during that time. The rental center is surrounded by fences and has a security unit, Matteson said.
The Department of Homeland Security would be notified, Matteson said, although the current situation was not to a level that would require that federal agency or the FBI to get involved in the investigation.

“We’re not sure what we have,” Matteson said.
Other similar trucks were parked near the one being searched, and Matteson said investigators had yet to decide whether to search them too. “They have a lot of work with just this one,” he said.
In the coming days, investigators will study the documents to figure out whether they point to a specific threat, he said.

Yeah. But s'okay, they're investigating...(/s)
Um. Why would they be investigating if there was nothing suspicious?
