Due to a technicality in forfeiture law that allows governments to claim that it is suing the item of property allegedly used in a crime and not the owner of the property, forfeiture cases have come to take on peculiar-sounding titles such as U.S. v. 1960 Bags of Coffee, U.S. v. 9.6 Acres of Land and Lake, and U.S. v. 667 Bottles of Wine.
