If it walks like a duck... (not that you could prove it)

@StbHisMrs: Wow. That's a little scary. Do you have any way to install a security camera? I would call your local police (non-emergency), and ask what can be done to ensure your safety, or if either of these things warrants a police report.

were the nails in the side wall of the tire or the tread? if they're in the side wall, that's obviously someone f'ing with the car, if they're in the tread, she could have driven through them days ago and just had one go flat, the nail acts as a plug, so it takes a long time to let the air out. if someone is going to take your tires out, they usually walk around the car puncturing each one, they don't usually carry a nail for each tire & something to drive them in with, it's hard to put a nail in a tire, you have to hit it in with something, so you'd be carrying a handful of nails and a hammer or something to drive them in with, not very efficient. usually it's a knife or pick of some sort and they stab the side wall where it's thinest & easiest to puncture. my tires were taken out last year, the officer & i had a long discussion about how ppl take out tires (if they're really awful, they take them out while you're parked somewhere a tow truck can't get the car out & it has to be driven on the rims out of the spot ).

either way, that really sucks, i'm sorry that happened to your mom, i hope they weren't expensive or new your neighbor sounds like a b*tch & her son sounds equally delightful.

@mrs. bird: I agree. In the tread, she probably just drove over them on the road somewhere. In the side wall, the neighbors are messing with your car (but you can't really prove it).
