keiser31 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I have been trying to replace the brake cylinders on my 1931 Dodge coupe for a while now and needed more room than my garage could provide, so it is outside on the driveway on jack stands. Lucky for me that I took the wheels are off and put them in the garage. Last night some thoughtless, so and so slashed over 80 tires around our sweet, quiet neighborhood. He even got all of our local mail trucks (about 7 of them). I felt VERY lucky that he missed the car and truck in our driveway and REALLY glad he did not have the chance to slash my 4:50/5:00 x 19s for my '31 DB. I would have felt awful for having to put his sorry butt to sleep like a rabid dog. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing Coyote Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Why can't people just leave other peoples stuff alone. If your looking for something to do then start a hobby instead of destroying other peoples stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterc9 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Cutting the tires on a US Mail truck is probably a Federal Offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to take photos of the trucks and while over there, the postmistress showed up and we discussed that. She affirmed that it is a Federal offense.

Matt Harwood Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 What kind of wiring is crossed in your head to make you want to do things like that? I've been bored, I've been angry, but what is the impetus to go do something senseless like that? Is there amusement this morning thinking about everyone coming out and finding ruined tires? It's like trying to figure out what a squirrel is thinking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimm63 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Treat this offense with the same penalty as cutting the heads off parking meters in the old days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Like many other things, they do it because they can. Just like those who steal things they cannot use or don't want or need. Just to prove they have power over you. And like many of that type, thinking ahead if at all is foreign to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing Coyote Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Keiser, I would make sure you don't have any loose parts laying around inside your DB while it's outside. They may end up walking off in the middle of the night. Lock it up or loose it is what I was taught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 All my neighbors light their places up with night time security lights. My place is dark. We hear prowlers getting up sometimes. The first time I heard one I thought he was doing the George Carlin doing his "seven words you can't say routine". Yep, my grandfather taught me how to protect my valuables, too.

marcapra Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I think in Muslim countries they would cut his hand, or is it hands, off. But this is America, and I don't think I want America to go the barbarian route. I'm glad your 31 Dodge tires were protected. That's why we have garages I guess. It could have been worse. He could have had a sledge hammer and smashed car bodies and windows. But again, glad he didn't put a dent in your 31 Dodge restoration plans!
