Ever wanted to own a tank?

Have any of you ever wanted to own a tank?
Or maybe an armored troop transport?
Or even just a humble missile-launching truck?

And, surprisingly, they are at incredibly low prices

Yeah, it all sounds good, but they don't tell you about any malfunctions...

True, but you can still have it sit in your backyard and look awesome

Backyard? If I had a tank, I'd live in it

Like a camper. Just replace the seats and machinery with beds and a tv, maybe a hot tub in the back too.

A friend used to own an Austin Champ, like this one:

He wasn't a military buff, however, just a hippy.

Well, the ending ruined the image. Thanks

I seem to recall there was a post here in the forum where a German citizen had a tank and some other equipment from WW2 stored in his basement or barn. It was hauled away . I thought that if it had been demilitarized, it should not have been taken provided he was the rightful owner.

My neighbor owned a '68 Cadillac Eldorado. Does that count?

Yeah, it was on the news here in Germany...2-3 months ago, I believe.

What ever happened? We just got the initial reports then nothing. Did he get his property back?

Oberon · 02-02-16, 12:49 PM

It's probably still going through the courts, I doubt he'll get it back though, I think it's going to go to a museum though rather than be scrapped. The Bundeswehr are de-weaponising it first though, probably replacing the machine guns with broom-handles as seems the rage in the German army at the moment.

I'm pretty sure that he won't get it back.
I think he got arrested (No suprise) and the Bundeswehr had to come and confiscate all the weapons, or anything capable of loading/firing a round.

Oberon · 02-02-16, 02:29 PM

I think the most he can hope for is compensation for the seized items.
Bloody shame really because he kept the stuff in fantastic condition and the Panther was damaged during removal

Would have been far better to have conducted an on site investigation and concluded if the stuff was de-armed rather than pull it all out.
