Missle Launcher Found In Escondido Dumpster

Now that sounds plausible.

I saw this on the news a couple days ago. My first thought was that it was dumped by Mexican cartel

Dumped=stolen most likely

Did it have the weapon in it originally?

Maybe... if yes, I'm going with someone who either needed the (HE)AT shaped charge for some specific purpose (I have no guess as to what) or a bunch of people who thought it would be fun to blow up something on private property.

If the tube didn't have it's weapon, then I'm going with something stolen from someone's house by novice thieves and they got rid of it when they couldn't figure out WTF to do with it.

This has been a fun assessment activity, thanks!

My theory is that someone was transporting it and for some reason got nervous and dumped it. Getting pulled over with a rocket launcher in your vehicle wouldn't be fun. I still say Mexican cartel.

The black market dealer probably thought this was too hot

how close was this to the house they blew up in Escondido awhile back cause the guy was making explosives? Maybe someone snuck it out before they burnt it down.

Uh...you can buy spent launchers at an Army surplus store


These are "One Use" weapons , once the weapon has been fired its useless and about as dangerous as pvc pipe ( I guess you could swing it like a club at someones head and give them a bruise)


Someones girlfriend probably moved in and decided to "neaten the place up " which is of course "girl code" for

I throw all of your crap out, so I have more space for my crap.


My personal favorite is when one of my buddies came home to find out that his girlfriend had thrown out an "ugly vase" she found in the guest closet.

The "ugly vase" had his grandmothers ashes inside it.

I didn't know that. Thanks

Hehe could be this didn't make the national news as they ran the serial on the weapon and it was spent years ago...

I know what Tannerite is...and that is not it.
You are clueless.
