My newbie Detailing Dreams have just died

[Eddieg711]

Too keep it all short my truck was stolen about 3 weeks ago outside of my work. I had been using my truck as a way of me practicing detailing for a side hobby since the paint was in horrible condition. As of right now my dreams of becoming as good as some of you guys have been put on hold mostly because I only had the motivation to work on my truck till I had enough experience to try on others. Hopefully bigger and better things will come. thankfully I did have full coverage insurance with Allstate so now I just am playing the waiting game to see what the settlement will be for.

In the meantime:
You can always go to the junk yard(s)
and pick up a panel, or two, in order
to have something to practice on.

I plan on just doing some work on family vehicles for now but that's a good idea 🤔

Sorry to hear that man!

Did they torch it or crash it bad? There's a lot of truck missing...

[Eddieg711]

They stripped it, and then left it to burn in the fields, they found my truck about two hours away from where I live. Right now these trucks are being stolen daily here especially any Silverado or Sierra from 99-07.

Man, that's just rotten. Sorry to hear/ see this. Hope your insurance settlement makes up for this.

That sucks man. Like you said, hopefully something better will come from this. Until then just keep practicing on friends and family's rides and you'll be golden.

[Toolhead]

sounds like you will have different incoming ride to practice on..

good luck with the next steps of another vehicle..

that's awful to hear, don't let this derail your endeavors or you will have let the thugs that stole it win. No business was ever built without some kind of obstacle, use this on how to manage and overcome obstacles. Start your business!

Not to sound stupid but did you contact local pd about this and show pictures? They are using the same MO it seems by stealing the truck, stripping it and burning it. Alot of bank robbies and fraud happens in the east coat this way using the same method over and over because they easily can be done...


Sorry Criminal Justice Major thinking here but I would first talk with local pd and show pictures of what happened to the truck and it might help other cases
