Hate to hear that. Years ago in Austin there was a homeless dude who would go on periodic tire slashing sprees. Would hit 20 or 30 cars at a time. Took em a looooong time to catch him. Think he did a couple months in jail. Maybe.
Vandalism, 13 tires lost, at least 10 trucks hit

You cannot punish someone who has nothing to loseSiinman, Gearjammin' Penguin, austinmike and 3 others Thank this. -
So several holes in small groups on each tire?
How was this done? Seems like a ton of work for no reward.
There has got to be more to this story, I wonder if we will ever find out the whole deal.
I wonder if anyone caught them on a dash cam.
We need to develop some sort of neighborhood watch type culture for truckstops -
I would think the Eco Terrorist's are at fault, these "people" have been trained to "save the planet" they see this as a good thing.
Of course it doesn't do squat, and only going to cost you money to replace but these "people" are working with a full deck.

I remember a few years back at a Truck Stop I used to frequent we had some driver pulling trailer pins, which was easy to spot, if you actually checked.Siinman, hope not dumb twucker and JoeyJunk Thank this. -
That's a great concept, but unfortunately we have more people recording the stuff going on at truckstops then actual people doing anything to help at truckstops.
Sorry to hear this happened. Time, money, a place to park that you'll probably never go back to, the anger, all around frustrating. -
My dash cam was off. Go figure. The investigator with KSP is looking at all camera footage he can. It’s a dark old truck stop though. Never been there before and of course I’ll never be back.
I look for dark places to park. Maybe I ought to rethink that.
I’m in for about $7k in tires I think but this is an insurance claim, not 7k out of pocket. Ive never had a claim period.
I’ve checked the remaining 5 tires every day lately for lost pressure. All good. -
Someone must have had a beef with the truckstop
Maybe a fired employeeGearjammin' Penguin and Opus Thank this. -
I disagree, they should have a piece of lead in their cranium.Coffey, Siinman, hope not dumb twucker and 4 others Thank this.

We actully had a small animal rights terrorist group a few years back do this to about a dozen farms in missouri when i lived there. Punks were breaking in at 2 am and doing stuff like putting spray foam into fuel tanks and turbos, slashing air lines, setting fires, flattening tires, smashing mirrors, and so on right up until one of them got a fatal dose of 12 guage to the chest when the farmer caught him mid act and the idiot rushed him with a crowbar. Did almost 6 million collectivly in damages.
Did a few rounds in the news for like a week. -
