In September 2015, Customs officers seized the pickup truck belonging to Gerardo Serrano after they found the bullets when he attempted to cross the border into Mexico. But two years after the initial seizure, Customs had still not granted Serrano a hearing. Accompanied by a lawyer, Serrano drove from Kentucky to Laredo, Tex., this week and picked up the truck on Thursday. It had been stored at a private impound lot owned by Apple Towing, a company that contracts with government agencies to manage seized property. He said that people automatically assumed that he was guilty of a crime simply because Customs seized his truck.
