Fragging a car recently and came across what appeared to be an amplifier hidden in the boot. Scratched my head and investigated further, found a couple of pads in the boot connected to the 'amplifier' and upon removing the cabin carpet, 6 more connected pads....................a frigging bomb detector !

A TALOS under car bomb detector!

If there is no reply then Hartge found the bomb and the fact the detector was disconnected years ago........

Why would I want a bomb detected? If it gets blown up the insurance payout will cover a working replacement :P
