One of us must have upset someone because a driver has just phoned me to tell me that all 4 tyres have been slashed on our car that was parked outside his house.

You are going to have to revisit your/your drivers last ruck, it might even be a private ruck and nothing to do with you as a company - it might have been verbals, it might be that someone feels ripped off, - either way I tend to think that for someone to target the driver car, then it is a personal issue, and not directly company. Most people tend to think that the driver driving the car/cab is the owner....that is where I would start looking.

people are nasty these days, random complain from frustrated house owner (loose term):
- one of your cars is parked outside my house
- but we don`t own cars
- car has your company stickers on doors
- yes, as all of them
- and is parked outside my house
- why don`t you phone traffic wardens or the police?
- cos it`s your car
- sorry sir, we don`t own cars
- but it has your sticke...
- take off stickers and call traffic warden, sir!

Does it work when the ignition is off and the car locked up for the night and the driver in bed?

Four tyres sounds a bit personal to me. Has the driver been shagging somebody's missus? :oops:
