Let's examine the facts:
1. Small devices with some sort of electronic components
2. Black wrapped cylindrical item with wires protruding
3. The lights were not on at the time
4. The figure is giving the "finger" and looks "strange"
5. The items were attached to prominant fixtures such as bridges, high visibility buildings (college campus) and in areas were there is a lot of traffic
6. People call in something "Suspicious" so once the police arrive, they would, most likely, report the item and what it looks like and establish a safe perimeter.
If I were to see something that looks like it has wires and something cylindrical and is giving me the finger (like most people do) I'd be very concerned!
I think time, place and circumstance played a huge role in this.
