Also… nobody specified this tank was armed with functional weaponry.
You can fuse/weld/sabotage a tank barrel into inoperability, you can unmount coaxial, cupola mounted mgs, even remove the smoke launchers and other counter measures, you can remove all the ammo and munitions.
IRL, this does happen, private tank ownership is pretty fucking rare, but it does exist, and they are basically civillianized in the above described ways.
They are also not road legal, for… hopefully very obvious reasons.
Maybe the most famous example of this is Arnold Schwarzenegger owning an M47 Patton and occasionally just taking it out to a track to drive around on, run over old junked cars and such.
Ding ding ding!

In case folks forgot, or are too young to remember… yeah, this is basically what Arnold decided to do after he finished being ‘the Governator.’
