TL;DR Summary

A man in Bellevue, Washington, was found to have an inert nuclear missile in his garage, which he had purchased from an estate sale. The missile, a Douglas AIR-2 Genie, was reported to the police by the National Museum of the US Air Force, but it was determined that there was no warhead attached, so there was no danger to the community. The military did not want the rocket back, so it was left with the man to be donated.
