Are you sure that you were 'told' correctly?

Maybe you mis-heard, and it was:

'a bum found on the deserted area near the Love Inn Hotel'

Australian, my bet.

I hope this 'bomb' thing is not correct.

I was always proud to think that my love making could shake the earth. It would be most deflating to learn that the shaking was caused by a bomb.

I love it when non-military people start describing military items. "Huge" missile ! It's only a little over 4 feet long. Sheesh, they don't make many missiles smaller than that !

In fact, it isn't a missile at all, but a rocket. No doubt a 2.75 inch rocket similar to that used by aircraft ever since WW II. Rocket pods on aircraft (and attack helicopters) could carry a dozen or more of these unguided weapons.

Remember the "surface to air" missiles that fisherman found a couple months ago ? Turns out they were mortar rounds, not "missiles". It sounded good though, until the pictures came out.

Judging from the condition of the rocket, I'd say it has been stored somewhere for quite awhile. Maybe hidden in a shed somewhere and forgotten about. Watching the BiB carry it out and place it on the pile of sand was a hoot. Either he was pretty brave, or didn't have a clue what he was dealing with.
