Car tires are getting punctured in the Carmelia neighborhood

Many residents of Carmelia complain that they find screws and nails stuck in their car wheels, which also endangers them when a tire loses air in the middle of driving and also requires them to repair the wheel and in some cases also buy a new tire.

The most surprising thing is that some residents find themselves dealing with the problem time and time again. In some cases, the residents live near a construction site, so they don't know if the nails are a result of the construction site, despite efforts to be careful.

In other cases the residents claim that they don't even live near a construction site and yet there are nails in the vehicle's wheels. It should be noted that the residents did not file a complaint with the police, as they are Not sure, that the damage to the car was done maliciously.

Three punctures a year

"The first time it happened, I was driving a little after I started driving," says a resident of the Carmelia neighborhood, who in the past year had to deal with nails in the wheels 3 times.

When I got out of the car, I saw that both wheels were right on the floor, and both had bolts. I made sure to replace both wheels. In June of this year I drove and after 10 minutes of driving I realized that there was no air in the tire. I went out and saw a screw in the wheel again.

The last time this happened was in November. I drove to school to drive my children and heard a noise from the wheel, but there was no experience of the vehicle. I got out of the car and didn't see anything. After a few minutes the noise continued, I went out to check again. When the wheel turned I saw that there was again a screw in the wheel and a piece of metal next to it. I fixed the wheel again.

I have no idea who does this. There are no construction sites in the area where I live, and it doesn't make sense to have a bolt in the wheel every two months. I did not file a police complaint. I contacted the neighborhood WhatsApp group, and many residents said that this happened to them too.

Someone also contacted me from the Ramat Begin neighborhood, and said that this phenomenon happens to them with high frequency as well. It disrupts the day and it is a financial expense to buy a new tire so often. Of course, it's just dangerous, if it happens at high speed in the middle of the road. Maybe it's vandalism, I have no idea why it was done, that's why I didn't file a complaint with the police."

The resident of the neighborhood, who discovered a nail in his tire this morning, told Lahi Fa:

"This morning I saw that there was a nail or a screw in the tire. There was still air in the tire, and I went to fix the tire. This is the third time this has happened in the last year. I hope it's a coincidence, but it's too many cases for it to be a coincidence, that there is no intention behind it. It's not just me, There are many cases in the neighborhood.

I did not file a police complaint. I live near a construction site. I always look and check before I go, and lately it's a pretty clean site, but it's possible that sometimes you don't pay attention and step on something."

The neighborhood WhatsApp group is loud

Every time the subject of the damage to the vehicle's wheels comes up in the neighborhood WhatsApp group, it evokes a lot of sympathy from the residents of the neighborhood, whose vehicle was also damaged. According to one of the residents of the neighborhood, not a day goes by without one of the residents uploading a picture of his vehicle with a nail stuck in one of the wheels.

  1. Two screws, Danny Panzers yesterday Thursday. This also happened to some of the neighbors in the building this week.
    Maybe it's worth checking the situation in the neighborhood before a disaster happens. Resident of Carmelia!

  2. What small village is there on the Carmel???? a lot Leaving the mosque
    and support Hamas. Cameras, only cameras that will be checked!

  3. There is no enforcement. There is no deterrence. No punishment = war of attrition, until abandonment.

  4. It is highly recommended to check if there is a tire shop nearby. There are known cases from the past of malicious damage in order to access the nearest panzers and it is a known fact that not everyone in this industry is righteous to say the least.

  5. Lives in Carmelia. Parked only next to the house, in a private parking lot.
    Just yesterday we discovered a panzer in Gilgal. It was strange to us because we discovered a screw deep inside the tire.
    When I went to repair, the worker showed me that the wheel was stuck with not only one screw, but two!!
    After reading the article - I understand that this is a deliberate sabotage intended for all the residents of the neighborhood!
    Who is the cause? No need to guess…

  7. Now that they are afraid to raise their heads so they are throwing screws and nails, the residents of Haifa are still asleep and captive to the concept, go feed them and they will continue to ruin your life, your property, these are the same people who chose Klish and together with her the pigs......

  8. I also experience punctures in the tires with high frequency due to nails and screws. One nail about 4 cm long was stuck perpendicular to the tire along its entire length and this can only happen on purpose. After a month, 3 screws were stuck at once, 2 in one tire and one in another tire. I live on Yotam Street near the construction sites and also park near the synagogue on Haina Street There are also construction sites there.
    Very suspicious and seems to be done on purpose.

  9. It also happens to me often and I live on Moriah street. Just yesterday I had to buy a new tire, my car is two years old and I have had flat tires at least 10 times. Sounds strange.

  10. Michal, did you switch to the report on criminal issues as well? (-: good luck

  11. Carmelia has been suffering from criminal neglect in all areas for twenty years, and add to that that half of the neighborhood is dark without headlights
    on the stairs through the streets. Maybe the darkest neighborhood I've seen in Haifa.
    Only together with Tama 38, another 300 children were added to the school. Terrible density.
    There are no additional playgrounds. The neighborhood is dirty with dust and construction debris.
    Truck noise from 7 am. From what I heard, Rachel Street is hell on earth with some 7 construction sites.
    A company bought there at Tama 38 and has already sold and left because of the amount of trucks passing through it all day.

  12. Even in Shambor, we change tires like socks.
    The State of Israel is a country with a very, very deep contempt for its residents,
    This is only a small aspect of it. Who supervises the construction sites? nobody.
    If you saw a truck spraying concrete on your vehicle on the way to the construction site, what could you do? is nothing.
    A country that devours its inhabitants

  13. In every environment of a construction site there is such a phenomenon……..the reason is very clear…..think…..

  14. It turns out there is almost no car that hasn't gone through it. It's not accidental, it's intentional. The construction workers do it. Screws and nails are scattered in the streets. Before Tama-38 and the construction of MMDs, there was no such thing at all.

  15. Terrorism makes a living more easily than protectionism. When he scares by vulnerability.
    The security system, with the help of the judicial system, should enter them powerfully and without mercy.
    I don't like Ben Gabir either, but he is the Minister of Internal Security and even if he needs to back up the solution to the crisis.

  16. When the whole neighborhood is a construction site, bolts in the tires are a matter of routine.

  17. See if there's a Panzermacher nearby, maybe he's taking care of his livelihood
