CALGARY/AM770CHQR - Residents of forty homes in Chestermere that were evacuated Monday due to a suspicious package have been allowed to return.
Canada Post called the RCMP about the package after a postal worker left it in a field thinking it was dangerous.
It turns out it was just a gift intended for someone in the community, with a ticking clock inside and other electronics.

Why do they call this a "hoax"?
