Mine is known event. I kicked the shit out of the tailgate in a fit of rage against this particular machine.
The boot prints really help drive that home.

Might want to check all the neighborhood Karens, and neighbors across the street with security cameras? You never know.

Some sh!tty luck out there. Life happens and there is really not much you can do about it.
Most of my minor body dents are all self imposed by me or my kids.

$500, just because it's a rich person's truck....

(I hope it comes under that though!)

Hitting something hard enough to do that amount of damage is loud. Unless you listen to music at top volume all the time you should have heard the crunching sound of metal when it happened if you did that. Signed, a former auto claims adjuster.

Do planes fly over your house? Maybe the guy who empties the sewage holding tank on planes (have you seen blue ice?) didn't get the valve closed and your truck took a direct hit. 🤣 The ice would melt so there wouldn't be any evidence around your truck.

I remember a news report of blue ice penatrating the roof of a house.

You can spend $$$ and get it fixed, or wear it proudly so everyone thinks that you and the R1T work just like a "real" truck.
It's what I'm doing with my ding. There's a scratch on it that I have a touch-up paint pen for, but the dent is in a place that makes PDR kinda funky, apparently...

That's a real truck owner right there.
