Friday night i noticed i had a flat so i pumped it up, the following day it was flat again so i thought ok i have a puncture so i went to pump it up again but this time checking all the tyres, the rear 2 only had 15psi in also which i had only checked a month ago, now i'm thinking ummm.... chances of 3 punctures very slim.

 

sooo.... last night i thought i'll put my spare on the front, this is a brand new tyre!! get up in the morning and guess what?? it's flat. not driven since changed.

 

I'm raw, i would love to know who is doing it.

Letting the air out of three tyres is not quick or quiet though...

 

But three punctures sounds unlikely too....

 

Could the valves be sticking? Have you ever put a sealant in or anything like that?

Isn't it, oh right. Well it could be done unoticed where i park, i guess.

 

nope no sealant and as for the valves sticking, 3 at the same time?

 

just sounds like someone is having me on, last night the 2 rears werent let down just the brand new one which i replaced as i thought the other had a puncture.

Sounds very fishy to me. You'll have to mount a watch on your car and see if it is someone letting them down.

 

All the best with it :)

Fishy?? it could be a fish thinking about it, then no one would see him/her doing it.

lol nope, i live out in the country, Long Stratton.

 

Didn't realise you were also from Norwich, I'll keep my eye open for ya.

Looks like you'll be spending a night or two in the car ;)

 

If you're in the back, with a dark sleeping back they won't notice you.

 

Just don't take a Lilo out with you. You know it will be flat in the morning :tongue:

Fit little whistles in the valves - should scare the fookers :rofl:

Or....

 

Fill the tyres with methane, see how long they last before they puke.

 

Although you might just end up with streams of sick at each corner of your car lol

You could always pay me to look after it with a very large and nasty snarling dog.

 

If fact I'd do it for free if I could watch the dog take a nice bite out of the offenders backside :dance: :dance: :dance:

Put some superglue on the valve caps (on the outside) before you go to bed - it won't set until there is a lack of air ie their fingers grab it :rofl: Would be even better if you superglued the caps to the wheels too - you could ask them if they wanted breakfast in the morning :rofl:

haha, or i could cover them in dogs mess ewww.....

 

I thought about super glueing them on but when they did need refilling i would be pretty screwed.

 

Would that work then if i put it on the outside? mix it with acid so it melts their skin off haha that prob wont teach them though.

Ahh im in spixworth, also a respectable(ish) part of norwich :)

 

omg, how odd is that.

 

My boss lives there and yesterday he said there is a silver Zed in spixworth, have you only recently purchased it?

Superglue is good at sticking one thing - human skin :D Its gotta be worth a try putting it on the outside - get a CCTV camera so we can all have a laugh :rofl:

"Dad why have you got a Valve cap stuck to your fingers??"

Got it in december

Whos your boss or what does he do ? its a pretty small place is spixworth

 

He said that he thought you had recently got it as he had never seen it there before.

 

He's Jason and a It Manager. He goes down the local.

how about wiring it to the mains, then when they scream it will wake you up and then you can see who they are.

why not get valves that you can secure with a little grub, they do work.

 

caught a kid trying to nick the valves off my car, was gonna give him a right good :slap: , then noticed he had cut his finger badly on the sharp edge of the grub screw.........felt well sorry for him :rolleyes:

 

:dance: :dance: :dance:

Same happened to me evry monday when I play footy.

Both passenger side tyres were flat. Bought some anti theft valve caps and had no trouble since.

And they are cheap as chips. Problem solved (unless you got a punture or 3 :wack: )
