WHAT happened to my tire? mystery gash.

[jonismyname]

everyday. i drove a quick circle around the parking lot and saw the damage it did to the sidewall. and inspected the cut a bit better. without a doubt someone went through the trouble of slicing my tire between 530 and 730 this morning. at least they did me the favor of picking the tire in worst condition. glad they didn't realize every door is unlocked and the keys in the ignition...

maybe it's the tire shop drumming up business? haha

You are a trusting soul. Are you hoping to have you car stolen?

Story: 20+ years ago I stopped into a variety store (probably for smokes???).
When I came back out to my car a women was going nuts because someone had taken the keys from her unlocked car's ignition (she'd left it idling).
A few moments later a cop walked out of the same store and asked what her problem was. After listening to her rant he pulled her keys from his pocket and proceeded to ream her out for leaving them in the car unattended and basically begging to be stolen.

im pretty sure it's illegal to leave your keys in your car in NYS, in some nature or another.

i come from a very small town. go to stewarts (gas station/coffee shop chain) any cold morning, you'll find every single vehichle running, including police vehicles. people don't lock even house doors up there. what if someone needs to get in? use the phone? it's a habit i've been working to break... i also have this terrible habit of locking keys in cars/buildings which i find more troublesome than things disapearing...
