Seattle Seahawks owner Paul Allen got his hands on the Lombardi trophy, but he wants a Panzer tank.

The San Francisco Chronicle today is reporting what must qualify as the zenith of “let me see if I have this straight” situations when it revealed that Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who donated $500,000 to the Initiative 594 campaign on Aug. 11, is now in a legal battle over possession of a – are you sitting down? – WWII German tank.

According to the story, which also appears in the Seattle P-I.com, Allen apparently paid $2.5 million for the tank two months ago, to a group called the Collings Foundation, which allegedly has declined to turn it over, and reportedly claims the tank was never for sale in the first place. One report said there was an attempt to return the money. Maybe Allen didn’t pass California’s “universal background check.” Is there a waiting period on tanks under California law?
