I wonder if owners losing their cars in this way will be blandly told to claim off their own insurance (where you typically only receive a fraction of what it will cost you to replace it), whereas any professional recovery will be a cost to the airport operator.
Even if the car looks like it is in a fit state, it will be uninsurable again? Fuel lines comprised, brake lines? OK it looks good so fit to go then is involved in a future accident. Much safer for everyone to just right it off.

Remember this make of car was involved in the Liverpool Car Park fire and has been involved in a few model recalls. Are TATA building cars which have a safety floor? Unfortunately building regulations only change after issues occur.
