Police: Suspicious Wired 'Mechanism' on the Brooklyn Bridge Sunday. Dangerous Lock of Love?

From the scanner:

A suspicious package was reported at roughly 3:30 p.m. and again 3:40p.m. on the Brooklyn Bridge Sunday afternoon.

The caller reported that a person wearing a backpack and a black hat had left on the bridge a "mechanism the size of a cell phone with wires sticking out of it."

Upon questioning, the mysterious person rushed along the bridge walkway towards the Manhattan side.

At the same time, in a possibly unrelated incident, a padlock with wires attached to it was discovered by an NYPD officer at around 3:45 p.m.

Could this be a wired Lock of Love?

Update at 4:10 p.m.: Officers are walking along the footpath checking this out.
