I'm wondering if they confiscated his torpedo as well???

The above article's link to this recovery is also amazing:

I don't see what he was doing wrong?
He used to ride around in this Panther in the 70's, they knew he had it, and it was demilitarized, it couldn't fire...
May be the authorities have greedy eyes?
But where did he get it from?
I would love to know the full story.

Why did they take it , was it not private property ? or does that matter any more.

From reports on other sites, the Panther came out of a UK scrapyard in the 1970s.
The torpedo and an "88" on a 4-wheel mount were also removed. I haven't seen pics of any other items.

Yes - it's listed here....http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_Panthers.pdf No idea why they have taken it though.
