I don’t really want to get into a great deal of detail, but I am fairly certain, say 91%, that a coworker let the air out of one of my tires yesterday. Tire was fine, not even low when I left home and drove to work. Went to my car in the afternoon to run an errand to find the front passenger tire completely flat. Not just really low. Hanging off the rim flat. So I jacked the car up, put on the spare and took the tire to a tire shop (not a chain outlet either) two blocks up the street. I know the tire guys well and one of the tow services they use is owned by a good friend.
So I asked them to really check the tire carefully for damage from road debris, and to check the valve for damage. It was a fairly new tire with about 10,000 miles on it. The tire guys found nothing, so they filled it up with air, tested it for a slow leak and put it back on my car. The guy who checked it out had the same thought, that the air was deliberately let out.
I’ve since driven about 60-70 miles without loss of any air. I also have not parked next to this coworker's car.
So do I send out an email to everyone in the office to caution them about ‘malicious mischief’ in the parking garage without naming anyone? Or do I try to reproduce the parking situation I believe prompted the tire flattening to see if it recurs? Confront the guy about my suspicion?
