That could be a problem. Then I might want one.

I really have always had a fondness for cars that handle really well. BMWs reputation in that department proceeds them.
There are quite a few stashed about twenty miles away. For whatever reason many German nationals purchased large blocks of property there at one time.
I saw this as a place by them to easily move to if the need arose. Or the land was so cheap they could not pass it up.
Mostly old farms but concentrated german national ownership in that vicinity. Rumor has it there are a lot of cars of german origin siting in the barns there.
The owners initially came over once a year usually. Now very seldom. Their cars they brought originally here are still there apparently. Lots of BMW with a sprinkle of Mercedes.
These places are fundamentally inactive other than the hay cut by the area farmers. They have one german individual that overseas all the properties living locally. If you wanted to emigrate from Germany very quickly owning property here in eastern Canada then might make it very easy to get in.. As an investment not much upside would normally be expected from the properties in that area.
I did not want to think the worse of this situation but it is possible. What these individuals had as backgrounds basically. Many German war criminals at that time eventually landed up living out there lives in both the United States and Canada. This has been more or less verified as time moved along..
