Not sure whether to laugh or cry over this . . . but interesting to follow the route this truck took.

One odd story. I find myself sympathizing with the plumber, but . . .

Why would they sell the truck without painting over the name/logo?

What auto dealership thinks it can sell such a white elephant?

Thank God for the British and Russian news services.

Printing all the news we used to get from the NYT.

If you can't scrape it off, put a pig decal on top of your logo.

You know did anyone think to shut up and start hiding gps bugs in the used truck sold in to this ISIS supply chain?

Hey the background of that photo sure looks like Texas to me.

So the Truck being from Texas and all was the gun a dealer add-on to sweeten the deal?

According to Carfax vehicle history reports, attached to the lawsuit as evidence, the truck was sold at an auction on November 11, 2013. It was exported from Houston and ended up in Mersin, a port in southeastern Turkey. On December 15, 2014, a photo of the truck posted on Twitter showed it being used as a weapons platform by a jihadist group in Syria - with the “Mark-1 Plumbing” sign still there.


There is something very odd going on here. A 2005 truck wouldn’t have a whole lot of resale value, yet someone was willing to pay the freight to have it shipped half way around the world. Wouldn’t there be a good supply of used pickup trucks already in the Middle East, Africa, or Europe?
