The magistrate properly exercised his unfettered discretion: on the balance of probabilities the claimant failed to prove a genuine leasing arrangement, retained ownership responsibilities, was aware of cross‑border trade risks, and did not take steps to prevent illicit use; therefore forfeiture of the vehicle and keys was justified and the appeal is dismissed.
