Maybe they wouldn't give her free food or she didn't like their burgers.  :-)

At least she's solved her homeless problem for a while. Hope she gets some mental health care while she's spending some time with the state.

Even if it was painted baby blue, it's not safe to take a chance on it being a training item, though the odds are at least 10-1 it would be.  There are always nuts who take the time and effort to rebuild the fuze and arm the trainers; it's possible, though technical and highly illegal.

The training grenades that we used in Basic has a big hole in the bottom and couldn't easily be filled with an explosive component.
