Update: Bomb-Car Sold on Craigslist
Updated: Man Identified, Being Sought, But Has Disappeared

This is what I meant, exactly what I meant.

I thought there would be a chance these guys were sloppy enough to use email to correspond with the seller, and they were. Next question: Were they sloppy enough to use a traceable email account or IP address?

I'm guessing: Yes!

Sources tell CBS News the last registered owner of the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder - found in Times Square Saturday night - told authorities he recently sold the vehicle to a "Middle Eastern" or "Hispanic" looking man for $1,300 cash in $100 bills on Craigslist.

ID'd: But hasn't shown up for work since Saturday and is in the wind, as they say.

A Connecticut man was being sought Monday in the failed plot to blow up a bomb-laden SUV in Times Square, sources said.

This "person of interest" bought the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder that was abandoned with the engine running - and with primitive, but potentially deadly payload in the rear - just two weeks ago, law enforcement and police sources told The Daily News.

Investigators aren't certain whether he is the same man who drove the rolling bomb to the Crossroads of the World, but he has not been seen by his girlfriend - and has not shown up at his home or job - since the frightening incident on Saturday night.

If they know his name, they can tell if he left the country, at least using his own ID. Since they're looking for him in the US, I guess he didn't get out.
