An anonymous guy exchanged a 4-foot-long surface-to-air missile launcher for size-3 Reebok sneakers. It happened at the Kicks for Guns 2007 program, in which Orlando citizens can turn in any weapon in exchange for sneakers or $50 in cash, no questions asked. Check Orlando Police Sgt. Barbara Jones holding the actual piece of equipment after the jump. [vbpg]428[/vbpg] The guy said that he found the launcher in a shed last week. The Orlando Sentinel reported that the guy didn't know what to do with it: "I didn't know what to do with it, so I brought it here. I took it to three dumps to try to get rid of it and they told me to get lost." -Orlando Sentinel
Ohhh....i doubt they didnt ask some questions at some point....cant turn in a SAM and not raise eyebrows
Every once in a while one of those exchange programs turns up old World War Two ordnance as well. It's scary but also kinda funny when someone shows up with a grenade or mine or bazooka. (Okay, mostly scary.)
