Could have sold the car at auction and donated the proceeds to local charities... but no. They have to be the big dogs. edit: if the car was illegally imported I could understand why it could not be auctioned off again, but surely there would be a way to sell it somewhere to receive some sort of cash that could in return do good going to charity. That's a $360,000 car just gone... more money than all those people will make in a lifetime...
Saw a video last year of a sheriff's or state highway patrol's collection of confiscated motorcycles, all were taken due to being unregistered or some major offense that warranted confiscation without return.... looked like 30-40 bikes, all types- supermotors, 600's, liter bikes, busas... they ran them all over with a big dozer or CAT, then fed them to a scrapper.
Absolutely ridiculous. I understand not wanting the bikes to be resold cheap and put back on the street maybe, just going back to the original owners or whatever... but they could have had the frames cut, and then given to local tech schools or universities that teach engine repair or engineering. Or just sent to a yard that parts bikes out and take any proceeds and again donate to local charities. But no... $100,000 worth of stuff destroyed in under a minute just to act like big children and 'send a message' ...
