| #1 Ten 107s. I suppose you could get them into a pickup truck or panel truck, but you couldn't hide them To have a secret compartment big enough to hide them but leave the truck looking as if it were not modified, you'd need a big truck. Might be easier to track ownership of the big ones than the smaller ones, although the Syrian DMV is probably not very organized. |
