Sole have you got any cameras trained on your car? That would help a lot. Maybe neighbours opposite would be able to help with this and get a better veiw?

WMittens · 09/02/2013 20:34

Really, how is it possible not to notice a slashed tyre for four miles?

MmeLindor · 09/02/2013 20:37

Slight overreaction, on your part, I think.

Not U to be annoyed about it, but unless they intended you to die, rather than just be pissed off and rather inconvenienced, I don't see why you'd think that.

SucksToBeMe · 09/02/2013 20:37

I've driven with a flat tire before and not noticed. Easily done imo

Portofino · 09/02/2013 20:39

You called the Police right?

IrnBruChew · 09/02/2013 20:40

Your last post confused me, cluck cluck!

Sirzy · 09/02/2013 20:40

A tyre that has been slashed will be fully flat (not just slightly deflated) I can't see how you can drive without hearing it and more importantly feeling that the car isn't handling right at all.

I can understand that with a slow puncture it may take a while to notice but not with a slashed tyre

SoleSource · 09/02/2013 20:46

Well it was punctired with a sharp instrument rather.than slashed.

Cluck cluck as a cowardly chicken

well you cant gather any speed on a flat not slashed so its more inconvenience, although I went through a tyre a week for a while - until it was pointed out to me that there were builders down teh road and the surrounding area was covered in discarded nails, screws etc and that was the cause.

No one was trying to kill me but nither am I paranoid Hmm

If they were trying to kil you, youd find your breaks cut. I suggest you get a mirror on a stick and check under the car every morning

After a minor diagreement, I had my tyre slashed by neighbour. The previous evening she had watched me carry my (3 year old) son to the car at 11 pm to take him to hopsital due to severe breathing problems. The next day I had to take him to GP - car felt funny but I was more concerned about son's health. Ended up stranded in car park with what i thought was a flat. Hubbie came - saw tyre was slashed. Got a new one, got home to find tyre on other car slashed too. We set up CCTV. The footage is amusing. The things that she did.... Police also involved but not on our side - she had 'contacts'.....In the end we moved as her vitriolic behaviour escalated to such a level that no normal human being could deal with it. Hope that helps. Sole, I feel for you.

PhilMcAverty · 09/02/2013 20:51

Has this happened again since when it was slashed at the end of Jan or is this the same one?

SoleSource · 09/02/2013 20:53

CCTV going up within tbe next three weeks.

Her Mother stood on a stepping stool,eabed over the garden fence and cut my washing line whilst I stood watching her.open.mouthed from my.kitchen window

SoleSource · 09/02/2013 20:54

Same one but making me anxious..

OP posts:
HesterBurnitall · 09/02/2013 20:56

If someone sticks something sharp into a tyre it will often deflate slowly as you drive, much like driving over a nail doesn't necessarily equal instant flat .

How horrible, op.

LAK11 · 09/02/2013 20:57

Make sure your CCTV records. We had light sensors so every time they came onto our drive we were alerted and a separate recorder. It is high tech and high stress. Did our heads in. Really feel for you. We had to sell our house during the middle of a big legal battle with her. We were in the right, but mental health issues made us back down. It is a crap way to live.

SoleSource · 09/02/2013 21:00

LAK :( she says she is undiagnosed BiPolar. Whether this is relevant. But I.knocked on all other.neighbours doors to ask if tbey had seen/heard of anything similiar in area and straight away with zeto prompting from me,.they said was it her!!

Odd isn't it? I see my neighbours to say hello to about once a year as.most.are shift workers etc

OP posts:
PhilMcAverty · 09/02/2013 21:01

Bipolar doesn't make you act like a dick to your neighbours. She's probably just a very unpleasant person.

HollyBerryBush · 09/02/2013 21:05

A dead woman cut your washing line so you assume its her daughter carrying on a vendetta?

For the love of god, have you read this thread back and realise how unhinged you sound?

We've gone from slashed tyres to a small leaky puncture within a page.

SoleSource · 09/02/2013 21:05

She said she is undiagnosed BiPolar and makes her do things.

I have no.opinion either way

OP posts:
SoleSource · 09/02/2013 21:06

Not it at all Holly

OP posts:
LAK11 · 09/02/2013 21:07

Yes, Phil, spot on, Bipolar or not she cannot go slashing/stabbing tyres. Just because you have a 'condition' does not make it acceptable to behave in this way towards others. My son has possible ADHD, does not mean he is allowed to kick the nieghbour's car.... (off subject, I know) Anyway, 'she says...' says it all, really! Chin up, keep strong.

KeepingCalmAndPostingNicely · 09/02/2013 21:08

No really OP - holly is quite correct. Put down the glass, have a cup of coffee and calm down. You're in the grips of fantasy with this one.

SoleSource · 09/02/2013 21:09

Holly tbere is a massive back story and herMotber was a heroin addict and I am unhinfed because I mind me own beeswax living next door. Yeah right you seem nice

OP posts:
SoleSource · 09/02/2013 21:10

Well the only fantasists hete are those disbelueving what I say! I am also T total!

I have a vile neighbour not a problem with telling tbe truth

OP posts:
Sirzy · 09/02/2013 21:12

Holly is right, you are going to make yourself ill coming up with all sorts of mad ideas. A puctured tyre does not equate trying to kill someone.
