My father has a wonderful collection of model trains. It’s rather valuable in money. I have been playing with his trains since I was a young boy. Good memories.

Are you telling me that if I can’t afford to pay the state the full value of that train set, the trains will go to a government auction?

I think real estate and capital shouldn't be in the same category personal items are in. As a society we often conflate them but we shouldn't.
