Discovering that the 40-centimeter zucchini was no threat, German police called off the EOD team. Although the item did not turn out be ordnance, police thanked the man for calling the item in as WWII era discoveries are a common occurrence throughout Germany and it is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to explosives safety.
