ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – Just in case it wasn’t clear: weapons and drugs don’t make good charitable donations.

Albuquerque Police briefly evacuated a Goodwill store Thursday after someone left a pistol, ammunition, a grenade and some marijuana in a collection box.

Police Spokeswoman Nadine Hamby says the police bomb squad took the grenade away for demolition after determining it was a World War II-style inert – or inactive - grenade.

The police report did not list what type of guns were in the box or the quantity of marijuana.
