Not three months ago I got a flat tire while driving home on the freeway, so I figured, "this is a good time to get new tires." So I did. New tires. Today, I got up to go to work only to discover that during the weekend someone decided it would be a nice thing to do to stick a knife in one of them. >:( >:( >:( :'(
Are there any aspiring detectives around here who might fancy a visit to San Diego, California to see if they can figure out who did it? And are there any aspiring hitmen around here who might fancy a visit to see if they can make sure the culprit doesn't do it again?
Anyone else have any similar car stuff happen to them?
Pretty much the same thing.+
while going on an island very near Athens (Evia. Those who went to Agia anna know it), there is a way to get there with a ferry that lasts 45 minutes.
You can choose not to take the car on the island, in which case you can park to an unoficial car park (for something like 10 euros per day). Or you can leave the car on the road, many of which do. Well at one weekend, where we decided to save money (we were, after all students (with a car, but students)), we left the car on the street along another 40+ cares. Of course when Sunday came, ALL cars had problems. Flat tires, scratches etc... Needless to say the car park owners had done it, but how on earth can you prove it? So from then on we always take the car on the other side. but never park on the bastards! :<

Aspiring detective here. First question: Whom do you owe money?
I don't actually owe anyone any money. But come to think of it, we yelled at the caterer after our wedding because he screwed up big time. We demanded some (quite a lot) of our money back, and he reluctantly accepted. He's in Indio, CA, which is some 150 miles away or so, but he does have our address! :o

No doubt it was him. Case solved. I'll pm you for payment details.
Are you kidding? You've got to help me get some hard evidence on this guy!
Of course I'm kidding, duh.
But seriously if I was mad at somebody I wouldn't drive 150 miles just to make a hole in their tire. Unless that guy is really stupid. Maybe some dumb kid got bored and decided it would be fun to damage somebodies property. Whoever did it, one hole in a tire is not something I would be too worried about.
Well, I guess I'll just have to find myself a new detective then, won't I? :P
Not to outshine a bad thing but get this one
It was the day of the Grand National (incase you dont know its the biggest horserace in the calendar) and I was at work merrily minding my own business halfway through the day I have a phone call saying that my daughter (who had just turned 2) was ill and that she has a rash all over her. I told my girlfriend to calm down and that the next day it will probably pass.
As the day drew to a close My girls Auntie came into theshop to tell me that Faith (my daughter) Is in a childrens ward in hospital as she had taken a severe turn for the worse. I worked the last quarter of an hour at work and then ran to my car to go to the hospital (which was parked on a Church' grounds) to find that the rer window had be smashed with a brick and the stearing wheels protective casing had been smashed off completly baring the wires to my ignition.
In all I still drove to the hospital with glass all over the car and when i saw my daughter and the state she was in i couldnt help but be upset.
However there is a happy ending
My daughter was allowed to leave hospital the next morning and my car only cost £25.50 ($50) to fix up again so it was'nt too bad.
Hmm, Spaceboy seems very eager to pin this on someone else... I'd like to know where you were on the night in question AND DON'T SAY SPACE, BOY!
This looks like a job...for Ben Jordan! :D
Grundislav...can you hear me?
Unless a ghost stabbed his tire, I don't think Ben Jordan would be very much help.
You wouldn't want Ben Jordan on the job anyway... He just stumbles around for an hour until 3 people get killed and then claims the final person left alive is the culprit...
I'd rather have Granny Zombiekiller by my side, anyway.
Look on the bright side, perhaps someone, maybe a time traveler, knew that if you drove your car going to work, you'd die in a horrible accident. Just tell me if you found any plutonium around the paremeter of the knife cut.

Uh... I was at.... <.< >.> *runs away*
Having only read the first post...no...having only skimmed over the first post and the post directly following:
Two weeks ago I had a blow-out on my parents truck. Four days later the tire opposite blew out. I think maybe the engine is too heavy. 8)
Two blown tires inside a week. What fun I had.
Sorry about your slashed tires mate. Sounds like it could have been a serial hit. You know, some kind of sick freak that gets a rush out of slashing people's tires. Goes all over the United States slashing tires just to get his fix. But have no worries. space boy The culprit will be caught. :P
All I can say is buy tire insurance. I bought a new set two months ago and the next day I blew out two on my way home from work. I didn't bother to pay the extra $50 or whatever for the insurance, and it cost me another $250 to replace them.

I dont think the callout cost is worth it for a knife in the tire.
Where you parked in someone else's spot? Or heaven forbid, across 2 spots?
In the course of about 17 years at my current house we've had bricks through the windscreens of 2 different cars and our car's plates ripped off multiple times. I hate my area.
Well, I was parked on a public street in the same place where I almost always park.

It's the principle! I won't be satisfied without sufficient retribution!

Yeah, my warranty covered it, so if nothing else it just prompted me to get into the shop for an oil change.
Space Boy, you'd better watch your back! Or... maybe your... tires... ...... probably...
Well, over the years my cars have broken down countless times and been crashed into twice, but so far I've never had any problems with tyres :P
I had my bike's wheels slashed, then stolen.
i do not understand this. Why do they want tires they slashed themselves?
If they stole the tires, how do you know they slashed them?
I as Sherlock Wtcq Poirot will solve the case of"The insane californian tier killer"
There are several answers to the question who was the ONE????
1.A TV star who accidantly ended up in San Diego after WB broke agreement with 'im/'er
and wanted to stabb someone ASAP.
2.A Hybrid car owner wanted you to buy a Hybrid(Pretty loser guy he thinks if he stabbs
your tiers you'll buy a Hybrid).
3.Your second personalaty.
4.That dump kid you mentioned.
5.THE INSANE CALIFORNIAN TIER KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D

Nay! It was the count!
