Not a hoax, maybe a slight exaggeration

Although some of the details MAY have been exaggerated in the story, I can truthfully say that I live about 40 minutes away from Commerce Township, MI, and there IS a subdivision called Golf Manor.
My band plays out in that area (cities surrounding Commerce Twp.) all the time, and I have several friends who live out there. I sent a link to this article to a few of them, and they all replied back to me saying that they remember when it happened, and was in the news. Golf Manor is right next to the middle school that one of my friends attended.
So, I'm not saying that some of the "facts" in this article may be exaggerated or outright false, but there WAS an incident involving highly radioactive materials, a teenaged boy, and a shed in Commerce Township, MI. Since Golf Manor is simply the name of the subdivision, it's not going to show up in a mapping program or a list of US Cities.
