 Where do the

random screws come from?

 I'm pulling out of my place today and for some reason notice a big drywall screw that's licking it's chops for my front tire.

Luckily I missed it, otherwise it would have been a long morning.

I've already had one flat this year from a screw, and JZ had one  recently too. Do people drive around tossing them out their window or what?

1. I often wonder the same thing, I mean come on, there can't be that many just accidentally falling out of people's pockets!

2. Construction crews with pickup trucks are the main problem,they through remodeling trash in the back,& the gap between the tail gate and the bed is just enough for nails screws & unwanted debri to wreak havoic.Tool belts that carry screws & nails as well as any size box of nails thrown in a pick up..stake beds are not excluded from the debri dropping ,but mainly pickups are the problem... Roofers are the worse,they clean up like *** and those roofing nails have no mercy,Ive seen a 10 lb box of nails fall off a truck ..it had no tail gate at all!...later..Dom

3. I ruined a tire with like 500 miles on it. It went in sideways. It's junk now.
