Can I get a CARFAX on a ISIS Toyota pickup please?
 
Just read this article. It seems no one can figure out how ISIS got a bunch of new Toyota pickups. Everyone seems to be saying there is no way to tell. GMAFB.....


US Officials Ask How ISIS Got So Many Toyota Trucks

These guys have enough money to buy weapons, it couldn't be too hard to walk into a dealership and buy whatever vehicle they want. I doubt they tell the sales people what the truck will be used for.

Somewhere in the Middle East there is a Toyota fleet manager making some incredible bonuses.:)

Obama leaves em a ton of humvees, howitzers, tents and who-knows-what-else because we didn't want to bother shipping it back here and we're fretting over a few toyota pickups?

Texas Plumber Isn't Sure How Extremists In Syria Ended Up With His Work Truck

A Texas plumber says he has no idea how his company's work truck ended up in the hands of Islamic extremists in Syria.

The truck, a black Ford F-250 with the logo for Texas City's Mark-1 Plumbing emblazoned on the door, appeared in a tweet posted Monday by the Ansar al-Deen Front, a jihadist group operating near Aleppo. In the photo, a man fires an anti-aircraft gun mounted to the bed of the truck, presumably where plumbing equipment used to sit.....................................

"AutoNation took the truck in a trade-in, we immediately sent it to an auction house, the auction house then took the title and sold it to a local used car dealer," he said, distancing AutoNation from the scenario. "AutoNation was nothing but the pass-through for this vehicle.”

Oberholtzer told media that Mark-1 has received more than a thousand calls and faxes, some of them threatening, since the Ansar al-Deen Front's tweet circulated Monday.

"We have nothing to do with terror at all," Oberholtzer told Texas news source KHOU. "To think something we would use to pull trailers, now is being used for terror, it's crazy. Never in my lifetime would think something like that."
Wow, just wow.

A good lesson to contractors, never leave your company name on the side of your truck when you trade it in.
