Is Someone Intentionally Loosening Lug Nuts of Vehicles?

tireThat’s something several residents are wondering. A resident tells TLS he nearly crashed while taking his children to school today after one of his tires on his vehicle became loose from an apparent intentional act.

The resident, who phoned police about the incident, says his rim was damaged and needed to have his vehicle towed after the lug nuts of his wheel came off.

“My mechanic told me a similar incident occurred with another resident as well,” the victim said.

The loosening of lug nuts of a school bus last week may have also been an intentional act, as reported yesterday on TLS.

“Police said you shouldn’t touch the tire if this occurs to you, as they may be able to get fingerprints off it,” the victim said.

  1. There was a tire that went thru a windshield of acoach bus a few days ago in north Jersey. With hashgocha protis and a lot of rachmei shomayim there was only one serious injury. It might not be a local issue. Maybe some kind of gang initiation kind of shtick

    Ever heard of terrorism or anti semitism? There’s many ways to do it. This is one kind of way.

    If we wake up and return to Hashem then Hashem won’t need to send these rashas to wake us up to beg Hashem forgiveness

  3. To kleinman,

    Kllal Yisroel is lucky to have individuals like you who have direct communication with Hashem and are always able to provide solutions to our problems.

  4. Big Al, we wish you a speedy recovery! You obviously don’t feel any connection to Hashem, which need a dose of Ruchnius medication.

  5. I just wish that everyone posting here would lighten up, and let the other guy live. Big Al, do you really have such a great need to see your name in print?

    it can’t be terrorism because no one is taking responsibility. Anti semitism? How would they know which cars are Jewish? So thats why it doesn’t make much sense. As far as hashem is concerned your right but that’s totally irrelevant to my comment

  7. A simple solution should require lug nut indicators be installed on all school bus wheel nuts. These small bright colored plastic pieces will indicate if any nuts have been tampered with or are loose. They are in use in ny on most city busses.

  8. It’s easy to tell which car is owned by Yid. Almost every Sienna, Camry, Avalon, Crown Victoria, Accord and Oddessy in our town is frum owned. Allot of frum Lakewood cars have stickers from frum car stores or frum charity orgs on them. Also if you are parked on your driveway you have a Mezuza on your door, so it’s not that hard to tell. I would sugest using a crossbar to tighten you lug nuts every few once in a while.

  9. did anyone try to find out what area/street/development this is happening in? If it was tampering, these types of ‘events’ usually occur in clusters in the same area.
