I was sound asleep last night when Donna knocked on my door with news that there was a Mesa Police Officer at the door. We learned that there has been a rash of tire slashings in the area, and I had been targeted. Whoever is doing this punctures one tire on the vehicle and randomly moves on down the road to their next target. I park my van in the street and sometimes worry that it is more vulnerable to vandalism and theft, but even cars parked in driveways were hit.
Tires are not cheap! I have been pinching pennies lately, trying to live within a budget, saving for dental work this spring, and this is not an expense that I was planning on. With some of the violence we hear about, I guess it could be worse – that’s something to be thankful for anyway. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
That’s terrible! I hope they catch the b#$%&!
We have since learned that some cars did have 2 or 4 tires slashed, so I guess only one tire is something to be thankful for. Hope they find the perps before they can do this again!
Too bad you didn’t see it happen. There is a thousand dollars reward for reporting them.
Dom had 3 of his 4 tires slashed a couple days ago while he was at work. He works in a mall so it happened in the mall parking lot during the evening.
After posting the previous comment, I thought I’d check on that information about Dom’s tires, so I called Dayna. It turns out Deidra, who told us about it last night, did not have the story straight. It was one tire that had three slashes, but after further study it turns out that they were three cracks from driving it while flat! Discount Tire replaced it for free, too.
Shows you what happens when you spread stories without checking them out……
