Re: though corroded with rust, could be cleaned and restored to working condition

Was any of the seized ammunition usable in the tank?

Perhaps that's why they didn't arrest him. Even if the tank cannon *could* be made operational, there's the not-insignificant problem of obtaining ammunition for a 70+ year old weapon. Not something you can just order from Amazon.

Seriously, perhaps it's time to reconsider some of those laws.

Props to the guy for having something in his garage that took an entire crew and a tank transporter to remove...I'm assuming he was NOT married :-)
