Glendale police were alerted that a RAV 4 seemed abandoned. Turns out it was rented by Covina Santa killer Bruce Prado on Dec. 19 and was due back yesterday. His first rented car was boobytrapped with 500 rounds of ammunition and exploded outside his brother's home in Sylmar. Fox 11 reporter Hal Eisner posts on his Facebook wall:

WOW what a night! Police warn of a 2nd possibly booby-trapped rental car in the Santa Massacre story. Then during our liveshot at 11 they find it!
