Gen6 7 screws = 2 new tires

So Sunday for Easter I parked my Camry in vistor parking so my visting family members could park in front of townhouse and after Easter dinner everybody left I went to move my car back and found 3 screws in my drivers side front tire, I was like WTF. So monday morning I took my car to work I work at Toyota dealership so maybe they can save Toyo tire. Then they found 4 more screws in my drivers side rear tire. So now I had to replace 2 Toyo Proxes 4s at a total cost with labor $300. I think its the same people who 4 months ago slashed my sister in laws 07 Rav4 tires

Gen6 They'll get theirs...

doing such things on Easter will come back to haunt them later. Where in MD? I had something similiar happen to me, but the punk used BB's in my valve stems. He flattened all of my tires, my mother's, and other cars on our street. The good news was that I didn't need new tires just air. This happened about 4 years ago, and I haven't forgotten. I know who it is and I am just waiting for my time to pay him back.

That sucks!!!! I had some kids who were paint balling the neighbors cars and stuff in my neighborhood. They hit my garage door a couple times. I set up a webcam and record the drive way and street in front of my house ... if they come back by I will catch them on the camera My car is in the garage at night, so it is safe

The ride is great without the 7 screws. I almost went door to door last night but my wife talked me down, I've narrowed it down to 3 houses.

Yeah I'd find out what times they're coming by and doing it, then I'd sit and wait, with my own paintball gear ready to fuck up some punks.

i figure I can put half a hopper into a car window before anyone inside can figure out what the hell is happening

Identifying the perp in our neighborhood was easy. 3 hours prior to the flat tires, I have a verbal confrontation with him. He was standing in the middle of the road talking on a phone when I came around the blind corner and scared him. I had a supercharged civic at the time. I had my sunroof open and he must have thought that I couldn't hear him when he yelled "slow the f*ck down!" Mind you, I wasn't speeding, nor did I even come close to hitting the moron standing in the middle of the road. After a rough day at work, that was enough to set me off. I slammed the car in reverse and pulled right next to him. Words were exchanged and I invited him to my house if he wished to "discuss" it further. Dumb move on my part. I knew that he would do something to my car so I slept with the windows open in my house. However, I was awakened by the police pounding on my door telling me that all our tires were flat as many others on our street. I explained to the officer what happened earlier, and he told me that others had problems with the same kid, but he couldn't do anything because he had no witnesses. We see what happens in the future...one can never tell. To steal a line from the movie Next of Kin, "you ain't seen bad yet, but it's comin'!"

That sucks when you have such a sweet car and some punk would do such a thing. I hope you get them good.

ppl like that piss me off, someone tried to break into our house when I guess they saw us packing to go camping. Luckily my grandparents were home and the ***s got scared and ran with their dicks between their legs. But they broke our front door and damaged the rear!
