It will only lead to him geting an assault charge all for some low-life.
Point is, assault on a vehicle isn't the same as assault on a person - on a person you will face a judge at the very least.

The police here won't do anyhting except in the case of injuries AND damn near impervious proof. They're too worried about the gangs on the north side, and truth be told, I'd rather they go after some gang-bangers on the north side, than to deal with a tire-slasher.

The police here will basically tell you "that's what insurance is for"

$100 a tooth? Where was Marvin when I had my wisdom teeth pulled?

It sucks to "do the right thing"...I think if it was the heat of the moment I might be impulsed to beat the crap out of a jacka$$ like that until he stopped moving... I had someone back into my 300ZX back in the day. I knew who it was since it was my ex's neighbor. When I approached her later that day after work, she totally denied it claiming her daughters scraped her bumper when they were learning to drive. Funny that my paint was on her bumper and I knew it was fresh damage since I walked past her car EVERY day... I wish I had gone with my original plan and hacked her trunk open with a pick axe.

What are the chances that the douche who slashed your tires is a member here? I'd say pretty damn high.

so he is kinda like the tooth fairy in a demonic way huh?

so how many guys here would let some guy come up to your girl and just look her up and down in front of you or persist to make comments about her and not do anything? I kinda like the days when a physical asss wooping would prevent people from doing things cuz they were afraid to get their butts whooped but today that is why crime is rampage cuz we (meaning the US in genreal) are now afraid to do anything that will make the criminals be afraid to do things. We need to get back to an eye for eye theme to some degree. But its a wierd world today so you do have to be more careful than before. OK enough of my rant.

How much under invoice do they really uy the cars for? And when its all said an done is there monies that the salesman gets that he doesnt let us know about? Things like that.

Yea, that's a good way to look at it!
But, like others have said we have become kinda pussified, I mean right is right. I believe in having the cops involved but sometimes it seems that something like a tire slashing doesn't merit the same passionate response that the victim will have. Not really their fault, just the way it is.

A better method would be to loosen the brake bleeder on one wheel.

Not like they're not accessible.

There's another black Z that's around my area, sport/touring as well, but I've seen him around since summer, so he'd not have "just bought it"...

I'll keep my eyes peeled. That's nuts...

I know it wasn't kannibul....it's just a SPORT...black sport m/t...no touring

Ya, im letting police handle it, i just hope they do something. I want to f*** this guy up but its not worth losing my job, or going to jail.

thanks for the support.

all is good now, ive had new tires on her, and my work (the dealer) tried hooking me up as much as possible with tires.

Well, you don't have to f the guy up to get revenge. You could f his car up though. If you find him, pry open his gas tank lid and dump a bag of sugar down into it. That'll do.

:roflpuke2: lol, ya. ive heard that one before. i'd be more inclined to do something to his automobile rather than him.
