I swear if I catch the guy...

check for a small pebble in the cap for your tire plug...seriously, its an old trick people use. You'll get tires changed, and nobody can figure out why the tires are deflating...it's a very slow process.

That BS goes on here SF as well. Last time it was a bunch of gang types that poped tires on every car/truck they saw parked near a local college..

 

[Nocturnal]

do you have any idea why someone would be looking to slash your tires? do you think it was just a random thing?

Some jerk slashed my girlfriend's tires last fall... people piss me off. Good luck in finding the punk.

I'm not quite sure, were your tires "slashed" or, did they "mysteriously deflate"? Cuz it sounds like you've called it both ways.....if it's slashing, then that just sucks, I hope you find the mofo and beat him silly. BUT, if it just deflated, I agree with Gulzaker.....check the plug, make sure it's okay, and see if you can push it in/pull it out....reason I say this, is that a few weeks ago, after coming home from college for the weekend, one of the tires on our Blazer just went flat in the middle of the evening. So, I took it to Discount Tire (they'll check it for free!), and the guy put it in a dunk tank after he filled it back up, and there was no leak anywhere. Therefore, it wasn't a needle or a slash or a nail.....he said that someone had pushed in/pulled out (don't remember, sorry) the plug. It might've happened accidentally, or purposely, it's hard to say. (We live in a good city, in a good neighborhood, but it might've been done when the car was at college)

Either way, sorry about your situation, hope you figure it out.

Damn that's never a good thing, luckily I've never had the privilege of having my tires slashed...

hope you get him, i know what it's like, had my car window smashed in about 6 months ago...nothing was stolen though...parked on the side of my hosue, the window closest to the sidewalk, . .. . found a chain and a padlock in the bushes...possibly the weapon., never found out who did it

Only had my tire slashed once, this was when my wife and I were staying at a weekly studio in Phoenix. The slash was obvious..3/4 inch long hole where on the sidewall.





Is it legal to catch them in the act and beat them unconscious with a baseball bat and then sell their body on the corner for big men named Bruno to use and abuse?

I just got new tires on my car.. Tires are damn expensive. I need my car to get around.. with slashed tires that is impossible.

I hear you brother!

This is the second time a set of tires have "mysteriously" deflated at my house's driveway. First my roommate's girlfriend, and now mine. Thing is they were in two completely different parts of our driveway/lot, which has ZERO glass or other sharp objects littered on the ground.

GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

It's possible that they just let the air out w/o puncturing the tires. If they did that then it's not nearly as malicious and more likely just a prankster.
