A STARTLED man has told how he found a bullet lying in a York city-centre street.
Tim Stark said he was unloading items into the MOR Music store where he works in Fossgate yesterday morning when he spotted what he believed to be a live .22 bullet gleaming in a puddle.
He said he immediately called police, who came and took it away.
“I have no idea what it was doing there,” he said.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said the bullet had been put into safe storage, and CID had confirmed it was not thought to be connected with any incident currently under investigation.
He asked anyone with any information about the bullet and how it came to be in Fossgate to phone the force on 0845 60 60 47.
Well Done!

This guy responds, "Years since I had any live ammo in my drawers!!”
If Tim looked in my ammo box he’d sh4t his knickers.
There used to be a planet between Mars and Jupiter, but a .22 round, not the bullet mind you, the whole round, hit it. That could have been England. I'm...I'm Sirius.
I venture to guess, however, that your average mediot is so phroggin' stupid as to be able to watch that whole video and not realize that he (the mediot) was being insulted.
I got sidetracked following a link from this thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2878285/posts?page=25#25
He is also very proficient with his rifle of choice. Notice at 3:43 of the video when he ejects a cartridge by working the bolt. The cartridge ejects as it should but he catches it in the hand working the bolt between thumb and forefinger! It looks too practiced to be accidental. He has done this many times before.
Anyway, it impressed the hell outta me.
