So are the Turks exceptionally good at letting vehicles get captured or is ISIS exceptionally good at emphasising it in (social) media? I've never seen equipment getting captured in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Yes you have

after losing so many tanks. Either this or something along the lines of what happened after the coup, where Turkey apparently "Lost" ~40 helicopters. Now if these helicopters where to show up in the hands of ISIL (or Turkish backed militia), along with tanks, wouldn't that be quite a funny coincidence?
