Well, isn't this nice.....
« on: December 20, 2005 - 07:50:12 PM »
Somebody let the air out of my passenger tires Sunday night, or Monday morning. :swear:

I drove home from my parttime evening job, parked the car, and went inside. My tires were fully inflated then. Monday morning, I got up, and carpooled to my fulltime day job. Of course, at 6:30 am, it's still dark out, so I couldn't see my tires. When I get home after work, I notice that my front passenger tire is completely flat, and the rear tire is low. Do a psi check on the rear, and it's down to 15 psi. Should be 35. Naturally, I thought that I must have ran over something the night before. So, I fill the tires up, make sure they aren't fast leaks, and drive to the tire store, to get them fixed/replaced. The valve caps were on tightly, so at the time, I didn't suspect foul play.

Since the front tire was an old one, I figured I'd just replace it. They don't have the right size tire in stock. Okay, just fix the rear tire, then. Well, the morons at the tire store BREAK one of the lugs on my rear tire.  :stomp:  And, because I have a broken lug on that tire, they are not allowed to remove it to fix it, due to some company policy. Even though THEY broke the damn lug! So I said screw it, just fill the tires up, and I'll go home.

Today, I see that the tires are both at 35 psi. What the heck? So, since there is no leak, somebody must have let the air out. Now, as far as I know, most of the people who don't like me, live in other states, so, I got no clue who would have done this.

  :pullinghair:  Sounds like bored kids with nuthin' better to do.

At least they didn't have any spray paint, or decide to drag a key down the side of it.

Better the air out than sliced sidewalls! But still a pain in the @ss! I drove all the way to my shop in a snow storm to fix a tire that some punk let the air out of thinking it was a flat,,, fun .

Well that's frustrating!  Probably a silly prank, but still a pain in the butt!

Well, some who were local moved away after High School.  All the others, I met on the internet.  On places as large as Moparts, I'm bound to find someone who just doesn't like me, and I know of a couple members there who I wouldn't put it past them to actually do something like this....  Fortunatly for me, they live a few states away.

That is a bad deal but at least you never had to buy any tires. I have had also had the same problem. They often seem to think it will cause any harm.

Well Ghost, thats a real bummer.  I am just glad you didn't have to replace the tires.
