Civil forfeiture is wrong but the story described here is bizarre. The guy habitually kept $86,900 in his vehicle? It may not be a crime but it is really stupid. What if he was in a wreck? Something does not add up here. Free checking and savings accounts exist and they are FDIC insured.
There are far better examples of abusive civil forfeiture than this one.
