"Uncovered: Cold War Nuclear Missile Found in Washington Garage"

TL;DR
A rusted Cold War-era missile, designed to carry a nuclear warhead, was discovered in a deceased man's garage in Washington state. The relic, identified as a Douglas AIR-2 Genie, was found to be inert and harmless due to the lack of warhead and rocket fuel. The missile, a significant artifact from the Cold War era, was left with a neighbor to be restored for display in a museum, as the military did not request it back. This discovery follows a similar incident in the UK where a couple's garden ornament turned out to be a live bomb from the 19th century.
