Sucks either way.

Reminds me of a couple of years ago, about 9:30 pm, I’m taking the dog out. I’m in our driveway and an C Class Merc is driving by with an obvious flat tire. Young lady stops in front of our house. I go over to assist. Long story short, she has four flats all caused by a screwdriver….
Not even 4 full miles and not through any construction zones. I will concede that it may not have been vandalism, but how incredibly unlucky and at such an odd angle if it wasn't intentional! The tire shop guys are the ones that said they've never seen a screw threaded down like that and in such an odd spot. They thought it looked intentional. I figure they've seen more things than any of us.
