      If it started ticking they would have to do something as the ticking might annoy the neighbours.

        They moved the bomb.

        They also moved it to their back garden so it would effect more neighbours if it had gone up - this is presuming they live in proper suburbia.

        If they had left it were it was in the cellar they would have been OK.

                About 40 years ago my bro in law also found a WW2 shell in his cellar, took it to the police station and put it on the desk. Was in Tulse Hill, about 3 miles from that chap.
