That's most likely what happen. "hey look at this, no one wants it anyways so might as well take it home"

+1 on the posters. I'm waiting to see what happens with this thing.
Some yuppie woman was probably watching Martha Stewart make a desert garden and thought it'd be the perfect landscape piece, so she made her husband drag the thing home. He could be an unwitting accomplice. Locked gates? There's crime? I hope you concentrate the posters where she'll see them walking her poodle.

I'm not to sure, it is California after all.

I'm jealous your road maintenance consists of dragging a tire around... I need a flatter driveway I guess!

This thread is making me TIRED!
As far as ideas for making it a community tire, build it a house. A six by six by six toolshed would do nicely. Give it a Fat Tire neon sign in the window and some smaller, less worthy compact spares for planters in its yard.

This is choice stuff

Good news! The tire is back! This morning I left 1 sign on a telephone pole near where the tire stays. When I came home tonight there it was.
I do think that I'm going to make a sign explaining that it's a tool and not abandoned. Hopefully that will speed it's return next time.

Take a spray can of white paint and paint "Chris142" on the tire.

Here in California they would elect the tire as a Governor or Senator if it said all of that.

Then it wouldn't work and just spend taxpayer money, LOL.
