Im not blaming any "inanimate object" . Where did that
come from?!
This man lost a valuable possession because he used it for drug running. It could have been a van, a car, a caravan etc. They would also have been taken apart.
Would we hear the same outcry?
The law is there to act as a deterrent. It does not and cannot differentiate between a nice boat/aeroplane and an old car...aww careful there lads this is a lovely aeroplane...
Get real.
