The trailers were available for sale on ICBC’s salvage website, and at least one was sold to a BC resident for just over $3,000.

The sale photographs reveal that some modifications made to the trailers, including working irrigation pipes and grow-lights, were still in place.

The CBC report says that the trailers had been reported stolen by the owners and ICBC paid the claims. After the trailers were recovered during a drug raid by the RCMP, ICBC was deemed to be the legal owner.

ICBC said that it has learned a lot from the experience and has offered to buy back the trailers from the current owners.
