[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the tire on her rental car was so deflated she had to stop and ask for help without attending to her baby, how did the rental car get so far away with the thieves?[/quote]

You can drive on a flat tire.  You can drive pretty fast and/or far.  It will do a lot of damage to the vehicle that will be expensive to repair, which is why car owners don't do it.  But why would a carjacker care about wrecking a car?  They wreck them all the time.  Life is a GTA game doncha know.[/quote]

You mean the thieves drove from Georgetown to SE (probably via through Virginia) on a flat tire, with sparks flying everywhere once they quickly would have killed the rims and wheels, no one calling it in to 911, no one noticing the awful noise?

Not possible. [/quote]

+1. That doesn’t make sense. There are witnesses and the people who worked at the store - so far no one has mentioned her asking for help with a fire problem. [/quote]

PP here. What I meant was that I don’t believe when she stopped at 30th & M she had a flat tire like others suggest. Maybe she got an error message that her tire pressure was low, but while you can drive on a flat tire, you cannot drive safely or without be noticed for long considering the car was driven to at least SE to drop off the baby. Sure you can have the flappy tire and then the noise but quickly you wear it down to the rim and the wheel and then you’ve got metal being driven on asphalt at 50+ miles an hour which gives sparks, smoke, an awful smell and very loud noise. I haven’t read anything re the thieves being seen driving the car with a flat tire and all that could entail. I don’t even think they’ve even found the car. And it was a rental car apparently.

The story doesn’t make sense. She also should have had a phone to call the car rental place or AAA or roadside assistance or someone to help her. Instead she was seen inside a candle store. Did she think they could change her tire? Why didn’t she take the baby with her? It all is super crazy. [/quote]
