Auto Credit Based on Kendog84's Beaten-up pickup truck (Dord 1990 model)
I was driving my station wagon around Bandit, when I found this, lying in a few trees by the side of the road. It was pretty heavily damaged, likely due to it crashing and being left out in the rain and sun for a few months, as I suspected. Somehow, it still drove. The truck looked like a Box truck version of a 1990s Dord. I decided to look up if anyone had seen this car. Sure enough, about 3 years ago, someone by the name of kendog84 had seen likely this car, abandoned on I think Yeager Field. No Idea how it ended up miles away, nearly 4 years later. Something is going on.

@Kendog84 I'm worried that someone else put a GPS tracker in it. Like maybe the reason it went missing was some petty criminal stole the truck after you found it, and whatever got the last two people got them too. Then they left it by the side of the road for another person to find, only to be tracked down as well.
@THEOKPILOT
Oh, I was referring mainly to the 'abandoned again' part. I mean, who would steal (or retrieve?) a truck and do body works only to abandon it again. If these really are the same truck that is... Hey I just got an idea, maybe you can hide a GPS tracker on the truck somewhere, in case someone tries to steal it again. I doubt it'll happen (again), but if it does... it might lead us somewhere.
.
As for storm from around 1995... I can't say it rings a bell. I wasn't around Wright Isles at that time. These cases of missing people seem kinda under reported around here, though, come to think of it...
@Kendog84 I mean, you could just rip out the bed, put a large box cargo area on the back and be done with it. But that would require technical knowhow (I think, I'm a little stupid) and probably multiple people to install the box cargo thing.
@Kendog84 Something about like a storm in the area, people missing. From around 1995.
Oh by the way... do you remember what the newspaper was about, or when it came out? Might help us figure out when this truck was abandoned
@THEOKPILOT
Oh... oh boy, yeah that wagon's seen better days. I'm surprised it still drives. Haha. And about the truck... I guess those items aren't anything too strange. Unless the fabric was all bloody or something, lol Also, as you say this one looks more weathered, like it's been exposed to the elements for much longer. License plates are different, too. But then again, someone could just swap the license, and 4 years might be enough time to do that... do you suppose the truck's previous owner stole (or 'retrieved') the truck after I found it, turned it into a box van, then abandoned it again? If that was the case, it would be bizarre to say the least.
@Kendog84 Something else I noticed, this car shows much more weathering and long-term damage, suggesting it has been left in poor storage conditions (like by the side of the road) for years. Like both our cars are red, but the paint on your Dord looks fresher and less weathered. this one has nearly rotted away.
@Kendog84 I just found a hacksaw, a newspaper and a few pieces of fabric. I was honestly pretty lucky to find this my station wagon was not in good shape.
Woah- I thought this was the Dord I found for a second! Looks like the same color, same level of rust and everything. Although... mine was a regular pick up. It's been a while since that truck went missing though... pretty sure someone stole it.

I brought that abandoned truck to the police to see if I can register it as my own (I needed a new vehicle since my green Dord dove into the ocean... forgot to use parking brake that day), but the truck disappeared from the police station before they found any records of the previous owner. They thought it was related to an unsolved case (that famous people-gone-missing incident), but the truck was never found again. Did you see anything.. strange.. in the truck, by any chance?
