The issue is significant to many aspects of the legal system today because it confronts the issues of property rights and property interests, as well as society's current war against drugs. The "In re Metmor" court's decision invites a comprehensive examination of an innocent owner's right to post-seizure interest, which is sure to come soon. The "In re Metmor" court correctly determined that an innocent owner's interest should be protected to its fullest extent. The court's decision holds true to the legislative intent behind the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act and attends to Congress' concern with the plight of the innocent owner in society's war on drugs. In the future, courts should follow the lead of "In re Metmor" in upholding an innocent owner's statutorily protected interest and abandon the misguided approach of the "One Piece" court. 109 notes
