Hello I recently got a Garand and wondering if it was possible or worth it to convert it back to 30-06 from .308 or should i just sell it and wait for a 30-06 comes on the market for a decent price.

Is it worth it to you? All that's required is a barrel change. But, having said that, without the tools you'll need a Gunsmith to do it for you. Just be aware that a 308 Garand is generally more accurate, has less recoil and, most importantly, far less ammo sensitive than it's 30-06 relatives. You can feed it most any ball or commercial ammo out there. With 30-06 Garand suitable ammo so scarce these days you may want to think twice about it.

The most commonly used ammo for the Garand in late WWII was black tip armor piercing.
Use of M2 Armor-Piercing ammo in WWII - CMP Forums (thecmp.org)
This is a fairly hot load driving a 165-168 gr bullet a little under 2800 fps with a propellant similar to Winchester 760. I guessing the bullet took a lot more pressure to engrave the rifling.The thief may possess something he stole, but he does not own it.
The owner has a right to take his property back from the thief.
