Always willing to help their favorite artists, recently, Benjamin Tod needed some help and wasn’t afraid to ask his fans to step up.

Loving his black Ram truck, Tod posted a few pictures of his ride in action. In one photo, it pulled some construction equipment as a dog sat in the driver’s seat. But sadly, over the weekend, some person decided to steal the singer’s truck. Although working with the authorities to locate the truck, he decided to call on his thousands of fans.
Besides posting pictures of the stolen truck, he wrote, “My truck was stolen from east Nashville last night. If seen take a photo and tag me. Nashville police are about useless but tell them too I guess. Hopefully they find who did this before I do.If you’re in the Nashville area please share this.”

I hope the cops find them before you do as well.” Another person added, “I know it’s a long shot, but I’ll be on the lookout in Hancock County. I sure hope you find it!’”
Just a taste to how fans reacted, the comments continued to stack up. And eventually, Tod changed his Instagram post with the words, “UPDATE: RECOVERED.”
That’s right, with fans and law enforcement behind him, Tod was able to locate his truck and return it to his home and, more importantly, his dog.
