Man finds "missile launcher" in his back-40

Drewva sez, " This guy just outside San Antonio was clearing some brush on his land and finds a discarded 'surface to air missile launcher.' Apparently he called up all the federal agencies to come and pick it up and they couldn't decide what to do."
My first thought was abandoned LARP-prop, but that seems unlikely.

"I had never seen it before," said Schule, a 34-year-old Web developer. "I looked at it, and it kind of looked like a missile launcher."
Schule took a closer look. It was a long, forest-green metal tube. A decal on it read: "Guided Missile and Launcher, Surface Attack."
The discovery was the start of a surreal journey for Schule. Somehow, an unarmed anti-tank weapon -- or a very good fake -- wound up on his land at Beck Road and Kirk Lane in the Hill Country, miles away from a military installation.

Goth girl, 15, found 'murdered' after posting her profile on vampire website

With her long dark hair and love of black Gothic clothing, it was no surprise that teenager Carly Ryan was attracted to a 'vampire' website.
But when Carly, aged just 15, posted her own photograph and personal details on the site, events took a fatal turn.
Now a father and son are accused of setting a trap that led to her alleged murder after her body was found by a swimmer on an Australian beach in 2007.
To this day, the website www.vampirefreaks.com features young women in provocative poses, amid photos that display items such as a black 'sexy psycho dress' and a 'sleeveless bondage dress', along with a music album called Zombie Girl - Blood Brains & Rock 'N' Roll.
Its members call themselves names such as PoisonedBeauty, Bloodthirsty and Psychosocial.
Carly is believed to have begun an internet romance through the website with a fictitious teenager called Brandon - who was actually the father and son who are now accused of murdering her.
Her body was found by an early morning swimmer in Horseshoe Bay, South Australia, in February 2007.
The father and son, who have not been named for legal reasons, appeared before the South Australian Supreme Court today.
The father said he pleaded 'guilty to manslaughter', while both he and his son pleaded not guilty to Carly's murder.
Prosecutor Tim Preston said the Crown did not accept the father's manslaughter plea - then went on to outline the case against the 50-year-old and his 18-year-old son.
Mr Preston said Carly's killers had seen her profile on the Gothic website vampirefreaks.com and the father had then concocted a 'cyberspace alter ego' called Shane.
The make-believe Shane wrote on the website that he was the father of an adopted teenager called Brandon, said Mr Preston.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1221429/Goth-girl-15-murdered-posting-profile-vampire-website.html?ITO=1490#ixzz0USwNUNQQ
