As long as your name is not on it then you will be ok.:rotfl:

As others have said, hand it in to the police.

.22 bullets like these used to be quite common and easy to obtain when I was at school .


Kids would remove the lead bit in a vice, and then we'd jump on them with steel capped shoes to make them go 'bang!'

There were also different larger bullets and empty shell cases brought home by troops after the War. Many lads had some of those.

My personal favourites were the shells the local territorials would loose off at a local training ground. I was doing great business in sifting the bunker sand, collecting the spent bullets and melting them down for the lead content...until I was caught. I was puzzled to be told that they all belonged to the Queen, because it was patently obvious she didn't want them! Anyway, that was one income stream cut off in its prime.

I wouldn't assume there is anything sinister about this bullet. Just drop it in at your local police station (if you can find one open) or if you really don't want to carry it around, do as others have said, ring 101 and have them collect.

Could allways call CrimeStoppers and see if there's somewhere you can hand it in anonymously

Just bin it. It's only a bullet. We used to find loads in our garden when I was younger (old military area) I wouldn't bother with the hassle reporting it.

Just take it to the police station and be done with it, you will have to make a short satement and thats it. Or post a pick on here and i or someone else will tell you what its from / if its live,

Throwing it in the rubbish would be spectacularly silly - so it goes into landfill, falls out of the binbag, gets caught in the truck mechanism, shoots a child... OK, far-fetched (and then some), but it's worth doing properly.

Also, if the previous tenant, or one before, or whatever turns out to go on a school shooting rampage, will you forgive yourself for not giving the police a lead?

What are the odds?

Do NOT carry it around with you.

Phone the police on 101 and they'll send someone round fairly quickly to pick it up and dispose of it safely and legally.

NB Calls to 101 cost 15p - if you check the local police website there will probably still be a geographic number for international callers, which may be cheaper or inclusive for you to call.
