The couple purchased the truck from a Vietnam veteran who had painted the truck in a camouflage pattern. "The childcare centre was not open, I went under the truck, under there with torches, you could see my feet sticking out while Jason was inside the truck and we were trying to communicate to each other," Mrs Morris said. Mr Morris got out of the truck to get ready for his didgeridoo performance, which had been confirmed with the kindergarten the day before. "He was carrying his didgeridoo and his work bag, just a training bag you would take to a sports day. "Jason walked up to the door, he left his bag there and he walked back to the truck and he looked baffled, he said, 'No one is there'."

Jason Morris playing the didgeridoo to a captive audience On his way back to the truck Mr Morris noticed approaching police cars with their lights on. Maroochydore police officer-in-charge Gavin Marsh said police had received multiple reports from the childcare centre as well as the public about a possibly armed person and a suspicious vehicle outside the centre. Topaz and Jason Morris nicknamed their truck 'Da Beast'. "Our officers were sent up there for what we were advised was a possible armed person," he said.

"We were getting reports a female was under the van and there was yelling and screaming." Mrs Morris said she had no idea what was going on when police arrived and ordered the pair to raise their hands. "We thought they were looking for someone else, we were thinking, 'What is happening?' " she said. "We were extremely terrified because we thought we were in danger of someone running around and I was thinking we can't move the truck because we can't fix the steering wheel. "The childcare had gone into lockdown and we were completely unaware.

"All this was going on while I was under the truck and I had no idea but then the penny dropped and we realised we were the people they were looking for." Mrs Morris said the police checked their ID and the truck and told them they had received multiple reports of suspicious activity. "It was extremely confusing and scary, we were both in shock," Mrs Morris said. She said after police realised it was a misunderstanding they went and notified the childcare centre where children, parents and staff had been hiding. "They (the people in the childcare centre) were all still in shock, fair enough, but at the end as I was trying to fix the truck, no one still bothered to care that that was still scary for us," she said.

The centre cancelled Mr Morris's show and the following one he had scheduled. Mrs Morris said her husband's shows were about teaching children that it was OK to be different and said last Tuesday's events really brought home for her how important the shows were. "The disability show is telling everyone that it is OK to be different and we got judged because we drive a different vehicle ... it stings in the face a bit," she said. "It was a rather a strange chain of events that have left us both bit rattled." Buderim Community Kindergarten would not comment.
