My brother ocassionally drove a limo for his job at a smaller airport. His usual duties were fueling and parking airplanes, as well as cleaning and cleaning and cleaning.
He was cleaning the limo after bringing a group that was arriving/departing on a business jet and found a plastic revolver, chambered for .38 in the back seat unloaded. Glass filled plastic, looking like a regular revolver. It likely would have fired proper bullets as the barrel was unobstructed and it had a metal firing pin. Aparently the only metal on it was the pin, springs, and a few screws.
I do not know the rest of the story, but I did get to see the weapon before I presume it was destroyed. This company serviced police helicopters as well, so I am sure disposal was not an issue.
This was in the 90's and being a private facility there was no security checkpoint.
