If you catch a tire slasher they will probably have a knife in hand and try to threaten your life with it for interfering...

Revisiting the

The so-called '21-Foot Rule' was born and soon spread throughout the law enforcement community. But is the '21-Foot Rule' a forensic fact or a police myth?

If I caught said tire slashers attempting to slash my tires and they were hostile and armed, this is what will happen. I was in fear for my life officer when I took out the trash.
This kind of new normal lawlessness needs to be met with force by those affected, then and only then will the word get out that the offenders will face severe consequences for their actions. If not more will die. Vote appropriately.

A lot of tires will be expensive and hard to replace. If you have a Subaru, we do, I believe the tire wear needs to be uniform. Slash one or two and you need to replace all four. Should be treated as horse thieves.

I will donate the rope!

If said tire slasher has a knife in hand when confronted, then that meets the “fear of bodily harm” requirement, ventilate as appropriate…

When lawlessness is met with lethal force, me thinks the occurrence of said lawlessness will diminish precipitously…

If you are going out to your car at 2am to get your phone or wallet you forgot to bring in the house and someone slashing your tires comes at you with a box cutter, sounds like a good shoot to me.

Slasher repellent.

Not to mention a lot of cars have staggered fitment, that being the fronts are a different size than the rears.

Or they are out of stock and backordered.
I waited almost two weeks for a matching tire when a pothole got mine.

They want you to call and report tires slashed? What for? There will not be one GD thing done about it.

Again law enforcement does nothing because the voters asked for it. One of these scum is going to get caught doing this to the wrong person and get shot for the "fun" they were having. Sadly then the law enforcement who did nothing to the scum will go after the victim but, just keep ignoring this and people will take the law into their own hands. Really sad but until some of the trash is taken out by victims I guess this is not going to get better.

and along this line, don't point you gun at the head of a Police K9 unless you want to take the room temp challenge
Mods may want to move this is they wish, I just loved seeing it.

Bodycam footage shows Arizona authorities opening fire on suspect as he aims gun at K9's head

A suspect in Arizona who refused to comply with a SWAT team that was surveilling him was seen on bodycam footage pointing a handgun at a police dog's head as well as officers.

Good reason to garage your vehicle(if possible). I can't believe how many people use their garage for storage and not for parking.

Same could be said for a few people I know....

On the one hand, I don't disagree with you. On the other hand, the Kyle Rittenhouse situation is a VERY REAL example of how horribly corrupted our system has become and what can happen to you even when you do everything legally. Kyle should have NEVER been arrested, let alone charged and tried.

Then, of course, there is no guarantee that you will come out on the winning end of an encounter with an armed tire slasher.

All this begs the question of whether it's worth the risk over some tires that are likely insured after paying your deductible. And I'm not saying it is or isn't. Each of us will have to make the decision for ourselves. Just make sure you've considered all the possibilities.
