"Messy box of ribs left in Clarksville parking lot creates bomb scare" (The Tennessean):
A mysterious package found in a parking lot on Public Square this morning turned out to be an empty box of ribs too messy to leave in a car.
At about 8:10 a.m. the package was discovered and called in to 911.
The box had writing on the side that warned anyone touching it that they would lose their hands, said Clarksville Police spokesman Officer Jim Knoll.
...
The owner, from Chicago, explained that she was in town for a family reunion and had brought down a box of ribs, Knoll said. At the place where she got the ribs, an employee had written the warning on the box to keep anyone from taking them.
After the woman got to the Riverview Inn and removed the ribs, the box was messy. She didn't want to take the messy box inside the hotel and couldn't find a trash bin large enough for the box, so she left it outside the car to dry, Knoll said.
"Columbia Student Indicted In Cheesestick Theft" (Nashville News Channel 5):
