i just read how saddam's entire car collection was crushed to prevent looters from taking them at one of his palaces. they were concerned that the cars would just be used for car bombs and barricades. they all had the keys in the ignition with some gas in the tank. one looter had almost driven a rolls royce out of the compound when the car ran out of gas. he proceeded to try and pull it with a sheet but could not pull it off. among the casualties were a 1917 mercedes and a 1955 belair. it took 5 seconds to flatten the belair with an abrams tank! this turned out to be a very painful task for many of the troopers involved.
