Do you have a link for this or are you making it up? Serious question.

Truckstops around here have a lot of security cameras installed.

Yes. It’s a “protection racket”. Pay us $50 for us to make sure your truck is “safe”. The new Venezuelan Mafia.

Slashing a large truck tire would no doubt be hurtful to the slasher. Sniping from a distance would work better.

The Ice Pick Bandit has struck again, at least half a dozen more times, at truck stops in Tennesee and Arkansas, piercing sidewalls of some and/or all of the tires on about 50 rigs in all, in what’s most likely the worst run of attacks ever seen.

Do the tire slashers have any idea what pissed off truckers with tire buddies can do?

Halt supplies and an army will surrender to those having halted supplies.

If it happened probably was a random vandal. Now if it happens at multiple truck stops in various towns...then it’s a pattern.

50 trucks, and no one stopped them? Hard to believe.

I am absolutely POSITIVE that these “tire bandits” realize the economic consequences of their actions. Right? RIGHT?

That sounds a little hyperbolic.

But if it is true, and it’s happening on the East coast…it would not be because of the hurricane. Although Teamsters tend not to cross picket lines.

More information and examples would be needed.
