I THINK the neighbors cut my tire.

this quote would tell otherwise...


"WOW, I have never heard of such, dont you have like security guards around your neighborhood?"


thats a perfect example of sheltered... sorry, but its true

If it was slashed you wouldn't have been able to fill it, and you would have heard the air coming out as you tried to fill it.

Depends on the size of the opening.
But I agree that any attempt to slash it would probably produce a hole larger than what he seems to have.

Unless his neighbors planned to drive him crazy with a slow leak.

He will have to look for any suspicious people carrying pin cushions.

Exactly, no one slashed it.
So now you wait a couple hours. If it holds air that means it was some neighborhood kid who was just jerking around (which could happen anywhere BTW, even in a gated community)
If it doesn't hold air then you most likely picked up a nail.

Wow, you guys are fast...looks like you already said all that.

i used to live within a gated community..

..and the guards are completely useless.

there's people that watch the area where I live....they have guns....but they're not called guards....hhhmmmmm

Hi AGO8, just a quickie, may need to be careful with this, i did surveillance system on my car and gave to the police and almost got prosecuted by the police because i had not put a sign up informing my nasty neighbours that they were under surveillance and they were tryong to do me for invasion of privacy, even though it showed them nicking my wheels never mind slashing the tyres

Thanks for the heads up Tardis 69! It's a crazy world we live in when the victims are being prosecuted instead of those committing the crime. Thankfully I didn't have to resort to using surveillance. My crappy neighbours haven't given me any grief since the police got involved 2 years ago. Cheers!

I haven't checked it again yet, so rubirosa's comment on this may still hold water. And the compressor is loud as hell, so I don't know about hearing the leak. Jury's still out on it. I'm gonna give it another hour or so before I go out and check it.

My grandmother lives in a gated neighborhood, and I once spent my entire vacation there getting harassed by a security guard from a different neighborhood. She was somehow convinced that the grounds keeper was the head of neighborhood development, that she was in the right area and that she had somehow been promoted to head of security. That trip was a trip.

if someone stuck a knife through your tire... and you went to fill it up with air after, no matter how loud the compressor is...your gona hear and/or see the air coming out..and you cant exactly slash someones tire with a pin..its not a bike tire, you need to apply ALOT of force with a sturdy , sharp object to get through a car tire, unless they are 20 years old and dryrotted shit

Stapledshut, this is FL, get used to nails, nobody cares what they drop on the roads around here. I get them all the time, that's just slack apathy. Now come out and find someone has hit your car and taken off, that's intentional. I have a couple of neighbor's that park too close to mine and whenever they do park next to me I move my vehicle. I don't know if they do it intentionally, but the yellow lines mean nothing to them as they pull into the space at whatever angle they come in at and if they are lucky to line it in that space straight, they should win some kind of prize. One idiot drives a cab and the other is an elderly woman, a third world alien from Haiti (she speaks creole and I've never heard her utter a word of English, I think she practices Voodoo, because she's always chanting weird incantations, either that or she's just communicating with whomever she happens to be talking at ?). Her car looks like she's come in " too hot" into parking spaces far too often. Drives an older sun faded Kia mini-suv that looks like a crushed beer can empty all around the entire vehicle and her front and rear bumpers are rusted, caved in and mangled. There are a handful of us in that area of the parking lot with nicer vehicles and we park in packs to protect each other's investments.

There a re a few carpenters and drywall workers too, those people drop nails all over the parking lot all the time, if not all over the roads when they leave and commute for work everyday.

Discarding nails isn't just a FL thing. At my old job in TN, some jerkoff scattered roofing nails in the parking lot. Fortunately, I didn't hit any of them.

It's lost quite a bit of air. It isn't completely flat, mind you, but bad enough that I should refill it before going anywhere. Son of a bitch... I gotta see if I can find a jack somewhere in this house so I can get the thing off of there and try to find the leak.
