That is a fair point. My counter point would be that there are other heavy machinery that you do not need to get special permission to own that can be used in the same capacity. Large trucks, bulldozers, excavators. Those can also be easily stolen to commit crimes as well, yet are not.
Also this particular tank, while they talk about it being used to remove snow at some point also seemed to be fairly hard to move.
>It took about 20 soldiers almost nine hours to extract the Panther tank - which was without its tracks - from the property.
Unless they were taking very special care not to damage other property, it does not seem like it would have been easily stolen.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoExcavators and heavy trucks definitely were stolen. Thieves used them to ram the facades of jewellers, ATMs etc. This is why such businesses now have those poles that are raised out of the street. It was very common in the Netherlands before the thieves upgraded themselves to explosives (which I mentioned in the post below). But good point about the tracks yeah.
