ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Police were hoping for a good turnout at their "Kicks for Guns" sneaker exchange Friday, but they weren't expecting to get a surface-to-air missile launcher.

An Ocoee man showed up and exchanged the 4-foot-long launcher for size-3 Reebok sneakers for his daughter, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Taking advantage of the exchange'* no-questions-asked policy, the man was not identified. He told the Orlando Sentinel that he found the weapon in a shed he tore down last week.

"I didn't know what to do with it, so I brought it here," he told the newspaper. "I took it to three dumps to try to get rid of it and they told me to get lost."

Besides the missile launcher police collected more than 250 guns. They were all exchanged for sneakers or $50 gift certificates.

Ummm...that is too scary. Glad he turned it in.

Thats Hilarious and all at the same time!

Notice they said LAUNCHER, not MISSILE. The launcher isn't anything more than an aluminum/plastic tube. They aren't even an effective club.

Well since his daughter was the only one who needed shoes, he'* probably saving the missiles for another occasion. Perhaps if they do it again next year?
