According to the garage owner - Mr. H.D.Y. (37 years old), at around 7:00 p.m. on April 15, a customer (owner of another auto repair garage) brought a Ford Ranger pickup truck to his garage to have it washed.

On the morning of April 16, this customer went to Mr. Y's garage to pick up his car but could not find the vehicle. At this time, Mr. Y extracted the camera and discovered that at around 0:00 on April 16, Mr. Q. drove this pickup truck out of the garage and did not return.

After a while of searching, at 10:30 a.m. the same day, people discovered the above car abandoned at a landfill in Block 3, Trung Do Ward, Vinh City, about 3km from the above garage.

At the time of discovery, the car was damaged in several places such as the taillights, flat tire, broken right front mirror light, and scratches on the side of the car.

Mr. Y. said that after the incident, he worked together to fix the consequences. According to Mr. Y., the car was damaged, with a loss of about 15-17 million VND.
