Back in the late 2007 i was driving my dad's car, E60 530i along NAZA PJ Faderal Highway its was past 12am. While im doing 140km/h the xenon lights reflects some shining materials scattered on the fast lane. I thought it was some road stones so i just keep driving. Few meters from the spot i saw two tow trucks waiting with lights on on the emergency lane and when i look at them one of them is eye-ing on my car. I feel unsecured and i stop at the next petrol pump. I was shocked to found 2-3 some sort of nails penetrated the right front tyres. I managed to get the one of the loose nail out and examined it. The nail was  spread into 3 small nails at its front. Thanks to the run-flat tyres the tyres were never punctured. Just lost a bit of pressure.Then i just continued my journey slowly hehe my dad is still sleeping. The next day i went to my regular tyre shop and confirmed by the tyre guy the nail was a common set up made by the call man. He checked the tyres and its good to go. Its very unprofessional for them to get cheap money like that, i.e to create an accident. Just wondering if it wasnt for the run-flat, i was driving 140km/h on a corner, if the tyres blow surely my car will lost control and had a huge accident, that may cause fatality. 2nd experience is, i went to my regular bank in wangsa maju with my staff to take out some cash. I was driving Nissan Murano, and parked infront of the bank. It took me quite some time in the bank as it took formalities for the bank to approved the amount of cash im taking out. Then after taken out the money we drove back to my office in TTDi. Nothing happen yet untill when im about to drive home i found out  both the right hand side tyres was punctured badly and the car practically lowering to the right. So i call my regular tyre shop guy to assist me as i only have one spare tyre. He came and took the tyres to his shop, then few minutes later he called me and said "hey boss, lu kena lagi", he said the same nail as penetrated into those tyres. I was wondering because it was day time and the roads i use were on heavy traffic and logically if the nails were on the road the vehicles infront me must have picked it up long time already. Then the tyre man ask me whether i went to the bank. Then only i realized it. He said the thick SUV tyres that saved me. The next day i went to the same bank to do some transactions, this time i learned from mistake, i asked my staff to guard the car. I had some talk with the manager regarding my unfortunate event yesterday. He agrees with me that it is not the first time. Usually the con-man will sit in the bank, eye-ing on the transactor that seems to take out reasonable amount of cash, then he will called his project manager outside to maybe put the nails on the rear tyres and just follow the vehicle until the driver realized that the tyres are punctured and made a stop. I believed during the stop the con-man will come and do their dirty work. So my question to the bank manager was, is there any security measurement on your side to make sure the safety of your transactors?  He replied actually yes they are, he pointed a guy with a leather jacket sitting at the last row of the waiting seats. He said that guy is a police from special branch, their job is to detect suspicious individuals in the banks and outside the banks. Usually they were placed in the area that has few banks and they will move bank to bank randomly. Then i replied why not unformal one of your security guard, and made him sits as a civilian and do the special branch job, i think that more practical as you have  civilian's eyes. He replied hilariously that is his idea when he retirement plan to open security company to supply ideas and workforce to the banks. Sniff. I hope based on my experienced explained above can benefit all forum member in the future. Just my two cents <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Talking about tow company, i got one reliable independent tow company, from my experience very professional. For myself most of my cars (previous and current) are modded and lowered so i use the on truck towing to prevent my bumper or exhaust tercabut while towing hehe any of the forum member would like to know the towing contact can pm me</blockquote>
