When I was a Hospital Corpsman, stationed at Camp Pendleton, around 1986-88, I lived in a ratty house with a bunch of other guys in Oceanside, CA. I came home from work one day to see some kids playing with a USMC "ball style" grenade in the grass. I got them away from it, called the Oceanside PD and they arrived with a USMC EOD vehicle. They picked up the grenade, placed it in the vehicle, detonated it and left. No muss, no fuss. The EOD vehicle was so stout that I barely heard the grenade when it blew. I'm sure glad those kids didn't get hurt...
