Texas plumber’s Ford truck ends up with terrorists When Texas plumber Mark Oberholtzer traded in his black [Ford F-250](https://autos.yahoo.com/ford-truck/f-150-supercrew-4x4/) pickup truck, he expected it would live a second life in the hands of new owners, but probably not these owners. Oberholtzer’s Texas City plumbing company, Mark-1 Plumbing, has been inundated with threats after a photo of his old Ford work truck appeared on a terrorist Twitter feed, equipped with an anti-aircraft gun in the bed and still bearing the company logo on the door.

A representative at the dealership said the truck immediately went up for auction, and most likely exchanged hands many times before ending up on the front lines of Syria’s civil war, piloted by terrorist fighters.

Well I realize that, but I would think that it’s much easier/cheaper to get a vehicle on the same continent rather than go to a different one. Why buy one from Houston to go to Syria? ---
