It would kick up after the tire passed over and then go back to laying flat.

You're right. It is impossible to run over a razor blade and have it cut your tire. OP's theory is far more plausible.

I went and got new tires a couple months ago bc I had one tire with a nail in the side wall and the rest were close to end of life anyway. Less than a week later, I get a low pressure indication on the same damn tire that had a leak before. I go look, sure enough there’s another nail in the same spot in the new tire on front passenger side. Is it more likely I ran over a nail in the same spot almost immediately after I left the tire place, or is it more likely they put a nail in the new tire before I left?

so the working theory is some a-hole was trying to get her to get out of her car to look at her tire.


I'm not saying bad guys don't exist, but they don't need you to get back out your car after just getting in before they can grab you.

Some guy wants to...kidnap your wife? Rob your wife? Ask your wife on a date? Alas, she needs to be out of her car for him to get her!

Better slash her tire while she is in the store....which she got to by getting out of her car....so that after she walks back to the car....out of her car....and finally gets in her car where he can't get her (dangit!) she gets a low pressure light and gets back out the car, where she just was when walking back to her car...and now that he's tricked her into getting out of her car, the bad guy can get her!

She may have rolled over a fixed broadhead. My nephew left some on a 4 wheeler and forgot about them. Took off and remembered 3 miles later. They were gone, one day we will find them stuck in a tire or someone's foot.

You may not want to burst her bubble. Best for her to have more situational awareness and head on swivel in future anyway. Besides, probably feeds her self esteem to believe she was chosen as a target amongst all the other women shoppers.

Last year we were driving and started losing air in one tire quite rapidly.
Pulled over and changed it. I could see something of substantial size in the tire but couldn’t make out what it was. I brought the tire in for repair and when I came back to pick it up they handed me a 3/8 drill bit. I couldn’t believe a full length 3/8 drill bit was in there.

Look it probably won't hurt to scare your wife into thinking this is a thing

But the average criminal in the Southeast can't read. They aren't cat burglars scaling buildings and crawling through windows to navigate security systems and they're not concocting elaborate schemes to lure you into vulnerable spots.

They're just thugs. They'll just walk up and point a gun at you with their finger on the trigger of their hi point or kick in your door. They have room temp IQs, and it's cold right now.

Which is far more frightening than any clever ploys like this.

The bad guy would have just punctured her tire flat and not just low pressure.

Murder of Leesa Gray - Wikipedia

quote:

According to official sources, the victim, 16-year-old Leesa Marie Gray, a student of Itawamba Agricultural High School, was working as a part-time waitress at her uncle's restaurant for the summer before the senior year of her high school. On that night itself, Gray completed her work shift and on the way back home, Gray's car had a flat tire and she could not go home. It was at this point when a 35-year-old Marine named Thomas Edwin Loden Jr. (alias Eddie Loden) approached her at around 10.45pm and began talking to her, assuring her that he was a Marine and he could help her settle the flat tire problem.[2][3]

Why would they need the woman to get out of her car after getting in it? Why wouldn’t they just snatch her (no pun intended) when she returned to her car in the first place?
