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 -
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. -
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. -
