“North Carolina law subjects a vehicle which is found to have been used in the illegal transportation of narcotic drugs to immediate forfeiture. Forfeiture may be defeated if the claimant can show the illegal use occurred without his knowledge or consent, with the claimant having the right to have a jury pass upon his claim ... The burden is statutorily placed upon the claimant to show the absence of consent or knowledge. G.S. 18A-21 (b); G.S. 90-113.1 (a).”
