Just came across this on WDIV's website. Only vague rumors of an actual story, but...

Once found a suspicious package while out hi-railing. My co worker went and looked in it after I told him no...ended up being a box of expired doughnuts from the near by bakery.

I'm surprised someone out there hasn't started a line of shipping materials called "Suspicious Package". Marketing writes itself. "Now you can send anyone you know a 'Suspicious Package'."

Apparently it was harmless. It wasn't donuts, but left behind tubes of industrial lubricant.

There is a firm I've driven by called "Dangerous Architects." They are based out of Chelsea, and from their website and what I've heard they really do good work. They have some obscure designs, but one of the buildings on their website is a railroad house.

I'm not sure where this house is in Chelsea, but the line in front of it is the Amtrak (State of Michigan) Michigan Line from Detroit to K'zoo and Chicago.

Was there white powder on those donuts?

No but there has been another doughnut disaster involving white powder sugar and a co worker.
