Heat-Seeking Missile Discovered In Adelaide Man’s Home


If only reality television shows like Hoarders could profile guys like this: a 51-year old in suburban Adelaide has been arrested over the weekend following a raid on his home which turned up many an unlicensed firearm, inactive explosives and…oh yeah, an air-to-air heat-seeking missile. What the fu–…

According to Adelaide Now the weapon in question is a Sidewinder — the same ones used by Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18 fighter jets used to defend the country.

Police say the weapon was disarmed and safe when they found it. Well, as safe as a missile can be, I guess.

An investigation has been launched into how the missile came to be in an Adelaide suburb.
