I realise that this is a bit out of the ordinary, but it's worrying me a bit,
Over the last few years one or two cars in our very quiet cul-de sac have been damaged. Mainly by "keying". All the damaged cars belonged to neighbours who'd had some sort of spat with an "incoming" neighbour. "Keying" isn't nice, but I can live with it.
But just recently that seems to have escalated. Two of us (neighbours) have had 2" screws driven into the sidewalls of a tyre.
My turn came today when Mrs.Y was driving along a busy road and the steering "went funny".
I'll post a photo of that in a moment.
My question is 2 fold. What are the chances of a 2" screw getting embedded into the sidewall of a tyre? Into the tread area, well I can see that it's possible, but the sidewall? In the same area as one of the neighbours got one? This could have killed my wife, but the Police just don't want to know.
The question is.....what are the chances of a screw getting there in the first place.
