Do you ever wonder what the a owner is doing with your vehicle after you trade it in? Mark Oberholtzer of Mark-1 Plumbing in Texas City, TX, has no need to imagine, but it's probably his worst nightmare. That's because an image of his old Ford F-250 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-series+super+duty/) is now on Twitter as a gun platform in the Syrian Civil War.
While the image only appeared recently, Oberholtzer traded the truck in last November. Somehow since then the F-250 made its way from Texas to Syria. According to a report from television station WHOU, the dealer that took the trade said the pickup immediately went to auction. Unfortunately, along the whole route no one ever took Mark-1 Plumbing's name and phone number off the door. So when the image went up on Twitter, everyone knew whom the Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) previously belonged to.
The plumbing company makes it abundantly clear that this whole bizarre situation is simply a coincidence, and it has absolutely no ties to the conflict in Syria. However, that isn't preventing people from phoning the business with angry calls and threats. Things are so bad that Oberholtzer keeps the phones unplugged for relief. Scroll down (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/12/18/texas-plumber-ford-f250-terrorists-video/#continued) to watch a video of the guy's flabbergasted reaction to finding out what his F-250 is doing now.Continue reading Texas plumber shocked his old Ford F-250 is now in terrorists' hands [w/video] (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/12/18/texas-plumber-ford-f250-terrorists-video/)
