More than just a nail...

My mom was coming home from the store on the main road between there and our house and apparently some asshat set up a bunch of nails on the road to puncture somebody's tire. It was her luck of the draw. The guy at the tire store said he'd never seen anything like it in his 20 years in the business. The tire was ruined and a new one is being sent in from the Tire Rack.

The picture is blurry but there are eight nails in a row, probably from one of those nail gun magazines. Whoever did this really needs a hobby.

wow, that sucks but do you really think someone set them up? My guess would be they fell off a truck or something

Terrible luck. Glad the tire didn't blow and she's alright.

Totally. Something like that can be disastrous. People who do stuff like this have no souls

I'm guessing it's more likely that these were part of a strip that you use for a nail gun or something of the sort. Either way that really sucks.

Interesting. I've never seen 8 like that. I've come across three or four in a tire from a nail gun clip

Yea, looks like part of a nail gun clip. Probably fell off someones pickup. Don't think it was intentional.
