So I get a call from my Daughter this weekend, this is bizarre...
She and a female friend are going to the mall in ABQ. They see some folks going to their car and decide to wait for the parking place they vacate, not a great spot, but one they have found that is near where they want to be. They are waiting for the spot directly across from the spot, so when the folks pull out they will pull straight into it. They see another car pull up after they have been waiting but they were there first so they pull into the spot when it is empty. The woman in the car that was waiting throws a fit, flings her hands at them, flips them off, etc. My Daughter has a bad feeling about her so they decide to wait in the car for awhile to make sure it doesn't get keyed. They don't see the woman so they go inside.
Two hours later they come out and find the first note on the windshield, and the second under the door handle.

Sure enough both front tires are flat, the valve has been removed from the valve stem. So the girls take a 10 minute trek across the parking lot to the Sears Auto Center, they send a Tech over with a compressor and they find this on the windshield:

The Sears Tech replaced the valves and aired up the tires at no cost, the girls went and bought him dinner and brought it back to him for his efforts....
So all of this to say, use this to warn you SO's about the crazy's out there, I told my Daughter that it was great her warnings went off about the situation, and that next time she needs to take it a step further and get as much info about the car/driver as she can. It was unsettling that this person waited for them to get back and watched as they discovered the flats.
