What would you think if your husband got 3 of his tires slashed and his rear-view mirrors busted while at work

He works at a store on a busy corner and this happened around 3 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon while he was working. Would you think it was some random thing or that someone who knew him had a grudge? My husband acts like he has no idea who did it and he wasn't interested in calling the police to file a report. I ended up calling the police to see if there was some gang-activity in that area, which they said there has not been.
Additional Details
The store he works at is in busy commercial area with stores around like Best Buy and a Kroger grocery store. It is a low crime area. The police came out to see the car after it was fixed but had absolutely no leads. He told them, "you'll probably never find out who did it anyways". He is usually really worried about money & the tires on the car were new b/f slashing. He acted like he didn't care about buying more tires. I confronted him about knowing who did this and he said he doesn't know so why get all upset. He has lied about things in the past but I have no reason to believe he has been cheating. Just wanted to know if my 1st reaction that he knew who did this was on target with other peoples' thinking. Thanks!!!

It seems to me that reporting the vandalism would be the 1st thing to do. I might be wrong, but it sounds a little fishy to not call the police.
I wouldn't make any accusations, but I'd definitely keep my eyes open and do a little detective work. Sounds like you've already started doing that. Good job!

It could be random, but the fact that he didn't want to report it sounds like he knows more than he is letting on.

oooh - he probably has a good idea who did it and for what reason. Hey may just not wish to tell you.

I think if your husband is ignoring it, then maybe he is hiding something and knows about. Maybe you can try to talk to him about it. But then again it could have always been something random like you said. But maybe you should just make sure and try and talk to him

not to be mean but what person would not want to call the cops. i thin he had some chick on the side and she found out he was married. sorry huni that is just what it looks like.. good luck!


?!
soooo he doesn't want to call the police? he knows exactly who did it. something fishy is going on here.

So did he call the police and turn it in???? I find that very strange. It seems to me he is scared of something or knows who did it and does not want to discuss why they did it. Since he did not report it I would say he knows all about why it happened.

Something personal and your husband knows who did it.

From personal experience, sounds like a love affair gone bad.

Ok if he didnt want it reported that tells me he knows who did it .ok for revenge of some sort. Yes I would have thought maybe just a fluke thing cause it does hapen but why wont he report it?? hhhmmm makes me wonder..

could be some ex affair and some woman picked up on that country song about slashing tires etc... funny he doesnt' seem to report it to the police. he could have had a affair that went wrong and he doesn't want to rock the boat now. he knows what he has done.

That would be my guess.

I was fine until I got to the part about "wasn't interested in calling the police to file a report." that seems like suspicious behavior to me. most normal people would call the police immediately and file a report, both for legal and insurance purposes. avoiding it altogether? i'd sit down and have a straightforward conversation with him to be sure you understand why, or there will always be lingering doubts. life get's really REALLY long and tedious if you end up distrusting your spouse. don't let your relationship get there.

I would think, that sounds like a jealous other woman, to me. I hope that is not the case. He needs to be honest with you, if he knows he needs to tell the police.


Ta-Zu (&Miku)
That's actually happened to my dad before, with the exception of the mirror busting. He knows who probably did it though.

It may have just been some random prank. Teens are still teens.
It's hard to say without knowing your husband well.

The vandalism itself isn't a red flag but not wanting to report it to the police is odd. I'd take a second look at this. Why didn't he want to file a police report?

Sounds like he might know who did it. But I don't know... Are there other weird things going on?


Tiare
my first reaction was that this is something a girl would do. I think it is pretty fishy that he was not interested in calling the police

Sounds a little suspicious. There really isn't anything you can do since you don't really know for sure, but just in case, I would keep an eye open for anything suspicious again. If nothing happens for awhile, it might have been a random act, but if things look fishy you might need to prod deeper.

he was/is having an affair tried to end it and the women went crazy because that incident sounds like somethin i wuld do! ask him..

It is definitely that someone have a grudge with your husband. Did your husband fired someone lately or suspended someone? Because where my husband work (in a big hotel company), his boss suspended an employee and the day after his car was burned during the night. Try to talk with your husband to see if his missing something or forgetting who could be.


bubba
probably some kids he carded for smokes or booze and he wouldnt sell to them.

The fact that he does not want to report the vandalism to his vehicle speaks volumes.

He obviously knows more than he wants to say.

Would there be any reason that you can think of why someone would be targeting your husband or his vehicle?

If this did not happen in an area where there are many acts of vandalism, it cannot be considered random.

Your husband may be wanting to protect you from what is going on, for either good or bad reasons; but there is definitely something else going on here and you need to keep talking to your husband about this.

If your husband files a police report, it will give them a place to start if other incidences occur.

My best guess would be that someone has been thrown out of the store and/or banned from the store and they are getting payback.

I have worked in retail management and had to have some people who were caught stealing banned from the store I was managing, and left work one night to find my car antenna broken off and scratched down the side of my car.

I did file a police report, and when one of my tires were slashed a couple of weeks later and the police investigated, they ended up catching the kids who did it and it was off to jail for them. They had also attempted to break into the back entrance of the store so had a long list of charges.

I wish you the best and hope that this was a random incident for your sake.

it would have to be someone he directly or indirectly knows that did that. but there have been some instances where you do see cases of random vandalism.


lanigirl60
Did you ask him why he didn't call the police? It is strange that he did not call.


Capt Blackie
he did something to piss someone off and you may lay to that. if it was random there would have been other cars vandalised as well as his.


lwomar
I'm sorry but I would think two things: first I would think either he has some jealous co workers, or (worse case scenario) he is cheating, and his other woman found out about you some how. I believe this because of his lack of knowlede of who did it and not wanting to file a police report. I would investigate if I were you.

I think he knows who did it and that is why he didn't want to report it to the police.

Well first thing to come to mind is he might have pissed off his girlfriend. Don't get pushed out of shape now but think about it...He did not want to call the police? You did and found nothing was up...Three tires and the mirrors come on that is a lot of damage...On a busy corner in broad day light? Can you not smell female written all over this? Open your eyes and ask around...The wife is always the last to know....


vis
no big thing.. sounds like he already has a idea who did it..


famysx17
wow, thats scary!!!
it's possible ti was a random act of violence and won't be repeated. or if someone mistook his car for someone else's.
the place he works at should provide safe parking for employees (especially after this incident!)

I didn't think much about it until you said he isn't interested in filing a report. 3 tires and busted mirrors is certainly something you call the police over. I'd say he's pissed off a woman. Sounds like he told her he wasn't leaving his wife.
