Given the vehicle's ownership connections, the applicant's repeated control and use of the vehicle, the high value and highly concealed nature of the gold and absence of evidence of any other person having access, the only reasonable inference was that the applicant knew of the gold; therefore the statutory exemption under s18(2) did not apply and the conviction was safe. The sentence was within established sentencing benchmarks and not manifestly excessive.
