ALL of your tires? Son of a b*tch. Now what gave your car such attention? I feel lucky that I just lost one stem cap at Walmart.
Man, I need to vent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Went to Wal-mart last night to pick up a some goodies for the car (soap, wax, applicator pads, etc) and walked out to my car only to find 2 screws in all of my tires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F'n PUNK @$$ kids!!
WTF is the point of having those stupid rent a cops trolling around the golf cart................They were smart about it too as they put them all near the sidewall where it is not repairable *$*(W#(*$(*@*&@&*!&! What makes matters worse is that they were all near brand new tires.....i want to strangle somebody....now
thanks! i feel a little better

Walmart ussually has surveillance in the pking lots. You might be able to catch them if they got in a car and drove off from the plate #.
The fact that they hit the sidewalls was just likely a matter of convience. That fact that they put two holes in each one is what make it interesting. Tire shops never repair sidewalls. They especially never repair more than one hole in each tire. I would suspect that the little shits work at a nearby tire shop (any Discount Tire, Firestone, etc, nearby?), and are hard up for some sales.
Did you notify Walmart and call the police?
Good luck and I hope you catch them!

File a Police Report. Tire slashing is actually a huge deal! File the report get the cops to get the camera tapes and see if they can be caught. I don't know where you are, but growing in Florida I remember they changed the penatly for slashing tires to be the equivalent of felony.Originally Posted by GoldenOne

Other than grieveace to the owner, how so?
Bad bad news...Your comprehensive policy should cover the tires less the deductable. File the police report ASAP because your claims adjuster will probibly want to see this too. If it's like here though, the police won't have time to worry with this. Their too worried about the revenue generating offenders like people who make U-turns, etc.
Look at it this way though...at least you were at Wall Mart, they should be able to provide you with some quality tires at a great price so that you can drive home.
I did file a police report, and I did ask the police to request the surveillance tapes and I will file a claim today during lunch but im worried that my premiums will rise...would they?
Walmart did offer me a $200 gift card for new tires and apologized that security didnt do a better job.
probably becaused i parked back enough were there was atleast two spots open on either side of me...not too far back as there was still overhead lights.......ALL of your tires? Son of a b*tch. Now what gave your car such attention?
Edit: and the only walmart near me isnt in the best of neighborhoods
