Tires slashed on vehicles

This random vandalism in D.C. actually happened last week, but this passage caught my eye:

"Mr. Ventura, 45, said he was heading to work at 6 a.m. when he found two slashed tires on his red 2001 Toyota Tacoma pickup. He said it cost him $1,000 to buy new tires, and he was two hours late for work."

$1,000 for tires?! Dude, I hope they were made of gold. Is that normal for pickup trucks? $500 a tire? Those tires better be serving you dinner when you get home.
