A long time ago, I used to deliver groceries to this guy. Other drivers told me it was not uncommon to see him driving a tank around on his property when he was in better health, but when I was doing the deliveries he was basically on hospice. I got to peek at the collection once when the blinds were left open. I always thought it was wild that private people could own such vehicles. They had the firing pins removed and had been unarmed to some extent, but I feel like it wouldn’t be hard to reactivate them if one was so motivated.
I didn’t mean to take it from him, I just meant like what if he just decided he wanted to blow some shit up one day? It just seemed nuts that a random guy could just own a hundred + tanks.

You’d be pressed to find the ammo, if it even still exists for these vehicles. Plus, how would you even take it from him?

Tractors, flatbed trailers with a strong truck, another tank, d11 dozer, trained personal. All viable tank relocation choices.
I guess if he decided to just button up inside you could still just impound it lol
To clarify, not the guy in the pic, but a local who had a collection
