The solution is simple and even madder!
Ensure that there are absolutely no features on the equipment that could trace its ownership to you, find a nice unspoilt country lane and dump the offending items on the verge after making sure that nobody is looking and that there are no spy cameras around. The local authority will be obliged to come and collect them and dispose of them. After a while common sense may well return and such stupid charges will be removed!
P.P.
Leave a little note with it too
