Nail in Tire - Was this intentional?

I took my Miata to an auto cross the vent and discovered this nail in the rear driver side tire. Obviously, I couldn’t drive my car at the event, but I was able to use a friends car so the day was not lost.

I do wonder about how a brand new looking nail got all the way down into this tire. It just doesn’t seem like this could’ve happened by accident.

I used to get a nail every time I visited friends in a bad area of town. The conclusion was clear.

My neighbor did this to me. He told me my car was loud so the next day I parked in the same spot forgetting that he told me my car was loud but when I backed up, I heard a pop sound. I was like no that’s not what I think it is 30 minutes later my flat tire light came on, and when I was pulling up I see him hurry up getting inside his apartment. People parked there all day as apartments but soon as I get home around 6 o’clock I get a nail in my sidewall tire like that one.

I had one on my side wall of the tire and the physics don't make sense seemed intentional to me

Youd be amazed at how nails n screws end up in tires...boggles the mind bcz the physics of how just don't add up lol ive seen some doozies that'll make you swear some ah did it

My mechanic has just found nails in both nearside tyres and I am thinking this is deliberate. I have just lodged a complaint against my neighbour and this has happened. do you think I am being paranoid? I only drive 8 miles to and from work and don't use it any other time.

I’m also here for this 🤦‍♂️ & I never go off road or to bad areas

Someone done pissed someone off 🫠🫠 I had a neighbor do this to me a few years back over a parking spot that’s not assigned 😂 got a new tire next day bc I worked at a tire shop. A year later after that happened that same neighbor came to apply at my job & walked in for an interview WITH ME conducting the interview 😂😂

I found a screw in my tire yesterday, but it was located at the bottom when I found it after work, checked the tires, no nail so far, but if I do see a nail out of nowhere, I’ll check my work cameras, or call work home office to look at the footage, and find out who did it, so that I can file a police report (Atleast I’ll get extra money to put a lawsuit to someone)

A lot better than bringing my slingshot and rocks with me, and bust their windows, intentional screw puncture in tire equals broken window

The problem only worsens with the tire if you take the nail out. So in the future if u see a nail in your tire dont take it out.

Can you not fix it with one of those plugs?

😅Sorry for the tire man but this was gold 😂
