Houston Chronicle 10/15/09Texas man to feds: Take my missile launcher, pleaseJarrette Schule was cutting down trees on his rural property Tuesday in Comal County north of San Antonio when he noticed a green metallic tube on the muddy ground.
"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."

But Schule spent Tuesday afternoon calling the FBI, Homeland Security, the Sheriff's Department — every agency he could think of. He was stuck in a bureaucratic limbo.
"Everyone was handing it off to everybody else," Schule said.
An ordnance disposal team from Lackland AFB eventually made it by to confiscate the weapon.
