The Department of Defense applies a broad definition of "military gear" when it makes surplus items available to local law enforcement via its excess property program. In addition to combat vehicles and assault rifles, police departments have obtained everything from karaoke machines to bouncy castles through the DoD program, free of charge.

Below, an incomplete list of some of the oddest things to show up in the DoD's database of transferred items since 2006, along with their listed dollar values and the county of the law enforcement agency they were sent to. Do note that the photos are stock images from Flickr, not pictures of the actual items.
