Yes it was the real thing and after I asked if anybody had contacted the local 
police Stevertigo then called the Cheshire PD about it. 

In the future we should act on this even faster than we did (it was nearly 3 
hours before the cops were called). It is up the cops, not us, to determine 
whether or not stuff like this is a prank and take the appropriate action 
(even if it is just to give a warning to a prankster).
