Because if there is one thing that Hollywood has taught us, it is that tanks are unstoppable, can smash through walls, jump bridges and will actually sideslip as you do high speed cornering. Have you not watched James Bond in Golden Eye?

After being framed for the murder of Russian Defence Minister Dmitri Mishkin by General Ourumov, soldiers chase the fleeing James Bond into a munitions-filled courtyard. In an attempt to pursue Ourumov and the captive Natalya Simonova, 007 steals a Russian T-55 tank and chases after the General's car, destroying much of St. Petersburg in the process. After evading the Russian authorities, Bond finally tracks the pair to a train yard where Ourumov and Natalya board Alec Trevelyan's Soviet Missile Train. Unable to stop them, 007 intercepts the train further down the tracks at the mouth of a tunnel and uses the tank to derail the train; destroying the T-55 in the process.

Surely nobody needs this level of potential destruction. And it is only right that the owners must fully secure it to prevent James Bond wannabees from repeating these scenes.
