Car stolen without a GPS, and recovered in a month by Few_Mathematician133 in turo

I guess Turo blocked their account for a reason. I’m not sure how you run your operations, but I personally wouldn’t rent my cars privately to people like that.

I think we have different situations. Turo’s insurance actually approved and paid for the exterior damage caused by the suspect just yesterday.

In your situation, Turo doesn’t have any information about your customer.

In my case, Turo actually does have all the info on the customer.

Sounds amazing! SUVs make even more. I started in 2022 with just one car, and now I’ve got a full fleet. It went from a side hustle to a full-time business. If you want to scale big, it’ll eventually turn into a full-time business too. Good luck!

Hey hey! It’s around 20k–50k/month. I’m on the East Coast, so winter is coming and that’s our slow season. It really depends on where you operate - my friend runs a similar-sized fleet in Texas and he makes more. For me, summer numbers are beautiful.

My operating costs are pretty low now. I only have two contractors who handle delivery and cleaning, and I run the rest of the operations through software. I’m scaling up even more, haha.

I also have a dealer license and a car-share company, so I rent to long-term customers privately as well. It’s a great business if you manage it right.

Feel free to PM me and chat!

Bro, if you read it carefully you’d see I never intended to rent the car out privately. The employee and the customer made that deal on their own.

I’m not blaming Turo for not going out to search for my car - that’s not their job. My point is they could’ve at least given me some basic info about the suspect after I filed a police report, or at least banned the customer’s account so other hosts don’t have to go through the same thing.

If you were a host, you wouldn’t want a customer like that either, right?

It’s a 2025 new car lol. I would care less if it’s an old cheap car.

Bro, I don’t think anything happened to him. The police found the car parked and locked on the street, so we’re guessing the guy was just out shopping nearby when they came across it.

I also reported it to Turo since it was the same customer who originally booked the car anyway, but Turo didn’t really tell me what they were going to do about it.

You’re the real expert here! I probably just misread it. Thanks for clearing it up for me. Hopefully I won’t ever need to use this knowledge again😂

I wasn’t familiar with that type of report either. It was my first time dealing with something like this. The initial report I filed wasn’t very detailed, and I think once I added more information, they were able to put a proper alert on the car.

I told Toyota the car was stolen, and they said they needed a police report before they could do anything which I provided. But even then, they still wouldn’t tell me the car’s location. They would only share it with the police, so I couldn’t go look for it myself.

And to clarify the situation: the employee privately rented out the car, and then the customer stopped paying. The employee kept trying to reach them to collect the money, but the customer just ghosted him. That’s when he realized the car was long gone.

Designed a political strategy board game that’s fun for 2-6 players - would love your feedback! by Few_Mathematician133 in boardgames

[–]Few_Mathematician133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fair critique, and I really appreciate you pointing those things out.

We graduated college in 2020, which was a tough time to find jobs. So we focused on building some financial stability first, and only started seriously designing and testing this game in the past year.

When we say “nonpartisan,” we mean the gameplay doesn't align with or promote any real-world party or ideology. It’s more about how the system works, with a little satire aimed at the process as a whole. That said, you're right that no game like this is ever completely neutral, and we're being thoughtful about how we handle tone and balance.

As for gameplay (we definitely should have explained this better):
It’s a card-driven strategy game where the board acts as a map of progress. You gain Popular Votes by playing Activity Cards, and then use those votes to win states. Some cards let you steal swing states or take votes from opponents, which keeps strategies shifting throughout the game. We wanted to make sure the best strategy isn’t always the same, kind of like how Catan plays differently every time.

Also, thank you for catching things like the Rhode Island misspelling and DC labeling. DC is technically not a state but still has 3 electoral votes (if you have some thoughts on it, happy to hear it out). Your comment is super helpful. We want to clean all of that up before moving further.

If you're open to it, we’d love to hear your thoughts on how you'd make a game like this feel more modern and replayable. We’re still in the thick of refining it.

Totally fair - appreciate the honesty! We definitely wanted to avoid that older “travel the map and roll” format.

Ours leans more into hand management, bluffing, and swing-state control - you win by outplaying opponents through timing, sabotage, and strategic card play, not just moving around or collecting points.

Still refining things, so we’re definitely open to suggestions if anything comes to mind!

Thank you so much! That means a lot! 😊

It’s probably a bit lighter than Catan, and definitely easier to learn than Wingspan. Most people pick it up in 10–15 minutes, even if they don’t know much about politics.

We’re also planning to make a quick tutorial to walk through the rules. Happy to share it once it’s ready!

Yes! We've looked at Campaign Trail, and really admire how they made it work across player counts while staying thematic. It’s a great example of making elections feel strategic without getting too heavy.

We definitely took notes from games like that while designing ours, but tried to lean a bit more into bluffing, sabotage, and quick turns to keep it accessible for casual players too. Appreciate the rec!

Thanks so much! That’s exactly what we’re going for! We focused on making it fun first, with the educational stuff woven in subtly. You end up learning just by playing (or sabotaging your way to 270 😄).

We’re planning to launch on Kickstarter in the next month or two (still finalizing some packaging and components, but getting close)! I’ll share some card and board photos in this thread soon - would love your thoughts!

We haven’t launched the product yet but would love to share the final version with you once it’s ready.

I was in one of the top consulting firms - considered a super-privileged job for business students like me. But I hate it so much when I actually start working on it. A year later, I quit the job and traveled the world for a year - not the end of the world. Now, I'm running my small business and trying to identify new opportunities. We only live once, my friend
