In fact, my son in law got into his Combi on Saturday morning at 07.45, unlocked the gear locked, switched off the immobiliser, a vehicle with a tracker system, started the vehicle, placed it into first gear and tried to pull off as per usual. Guess, the car absolutely would not budge, tried as he may. A passer by then told him the vehicle wheels in the road side were flat. Annoyed he got into my bakkie, and drove off to work. Later I told him all four wheels were slashed. Imagine his annoyance, but imagine him trying to drive the Combi and not knowing he was sitting a bit closer to the ground due to all four wheels were flat. Imagine SAPS and our OPS having passed by 20 vehicles for a few hours too that did not notice tyres of cars in the roadside being dead flat. Eish. Regards James
