two weeks two nails two tires

so about two months ago, i picked up some Nitto NT555 for my TL. fast forward to two weeks ago.
i work graveyards at Savemart (local grocery store) and i park up front, backed into the very first stall where my car is always visible. so i leave work at 8am, go home and sleep. phone rings, buddy says he passed by and my tire is flat. there was a huge nail in my right front tire, directly in the middle of the tire.
so i think, no big deal right?
fast forward to today. i leave work at 7am, go home and sleep. wake up at noon and my right rear is flat, with a screw right in the middle of the tire.
so now i wonder if someone is fucking with me. i have no beef with my employees and im pretty easy going. so i dunno if someone is coming by in the middle of the night and putting nails/screws in front of my tires or what. there are guys in street sweeper trucks that clean the parking lots at night, and most of those guys are cool, so i dunno. how would you guys persue this.
i have pics, but cant upload from my phone

sorry for the long post, just have to vent

Hmmm...sorry to hear this. I don't know what you'd do to "pursue" anybody, though. You have no proof?

I hope you stay free of nails, though.

Sorry to hear it man. But like princelybug said, you don't have any proof of anything. If it were me, I'd just check in front of my tires for the next week or two. Sounds like a hassle but its better than paying for the repairs.

Good luck with it.

yeah that sounds suspicious, but just play it cool. no sense giving anyone a sense of satisfaction if it is indeed somebody. hopefully you know a place that plugs the holes cheap.
