Identical screw in tyre twice

[charlieh777]

a week ago i noticed my tyre had run flat and found a screw in it which i fixed. A week later i noticed another screw in my tyre when I took it out and compared it to the original screw that i kept they are both identical screws. what are the chances of this being accidental?

You can easily calculate the probability by looking at the distance travelled multiplied by the frequency of passing the road in which the screws were found divided by I have no fucking idea what I'm talking about.

About the same as the chance they fell out of the same van. Drywall screws are the worst. Pointy little sods.
I worked in a builders yard visited regularly by a whole fleet of vans and was forever picking up screws in the yard.

Twice sounds unlucky, third upwards will get into suspicious territory.

If you are frequently driving into the same place someone dropped a box of screws, you'll keep picking them up.

If I was going to attack someones tyres, I'd stab/slash them or cut the valve rubber. Putting a screw in it is too much like hard work.

A neighbour of mine started having a real go at me a while back about how I should be more carefull about picking stuff up around my lockup because he'd had to buy a new tyre after a screw puncture. I stood and waited quietly for him to wind his neck in a bit before pointing out I only do motorcycle mechanics, not woodwork, so if he'd found a bolt or rivett in his tyre, he might have come to the right place.

He did have the balls to appologise.

There are two obvious possible scenarios.

1. You have a loud exhaust or have pissed someone off

2. A pack of screws have fallen out the back of a van.

There's a third possibility: https://youtu.be/LlULxzFja-w?t=26s
