Tire slasher leaves severed finger behind on woman’s driveway
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
An Arizona woman says her neighbour deliberately slashed her SUV's tires and accidentally gave her the finger, after she found the severed digit in her bloodstained driveway following an argument the night before.
"I literally have been laughing all day because if I don't, I think I might cry," said Francesca Wikoff, who reported the incident to police in Maricopa County on Thursday. Authorities have since taken the finger into evidence.
Wikoff told the Maricopa Monitor that it won't be hard to finger the culprit behind the tire-slashing incident. She says it was a neighbour who tried to pick a drunken fight with her husband the night before, and that she's simply waiting to catch him blood-red-handed.
She says the neighbour followed her and her husband to another neighbour's get-together on Wednesday night, and that he became drunk and belligerent with her husband.
“He was asked to leave, and he didn't like that, so he tried to retaliate by slashing my tires," she told the paper. "However, he left a little consolation prize."
Wikoff's husband found the finger and a trail of blood leading back to the neighbour's home on Thursday morning, she told local station CBS 5 . She also shared photos of the finger, as well as pictures of the slashed tires on her GMC Yukon.
Wikoff, who is a former EMT, suspects that her neighbour accidentally cut off the digit while carrying out his revenge, then fled the scene.
“My neighbour heard him yelling and crying, probably about like 10:30 p.m., so we figured that's when it happened,” she said.
“You would think if you’re going to go to the hospital, especially if you just severed your finger off, that you would take said finger with you."
CBS 5 attempted to contact the neighbour but he was not home at the time. Maricopa police did not respond to requests for comment.
Wikoff says she'll have to get her SUV fixed, but she still feels like she got the "better hand" in the incident.
"I don't find joy in anybody hurting themselves," she told CBS 5. "However, karma has a good way of working itself out."

What a dick first he slashes her tires and then to add insult to injury he gives her the finger
Damn...beat me to it.
I just can't seem to put my finger on the problem here.....
Can you point to where the guy went wrong?
I guess the "looser sign" on him may just look like a "hyphen".
The Wykoff's should invite the tire slasher over for cocktails and finger sandwiches.
Nice one.. LOL
Well, it wasn't a Lady Finger.
Ok, first: Gross!
And second: Dude, how?
Lol not sure about the specifics but I'm pretty sure alcohol was involved
Just as a guess but tires are hard to cut so maybe he put one hand on top of the blade for leverage with a finger curled under the blade and maybe the knife popped out and momentum caught his finger between the blade and the pavement.
I can just see him freakin out .. "O Fuck !"
Then once realizing WTF he had just done, panickily feeling around on the driveway for his finger, before the cops could get there. Then bolting to save himself abandoning part of himself forever. Like a lizard losing a tail and scampering away.
Karma, Ya gotta respect her.
lol
I was just thinking maybe it was a folding knife and when he couldn’t pierce the tire, it closed on his finger.
Quite possible as well
That's my guess. You need a locking blade. The easiest way is to just cut the valve stems. It's less expensive to fix but you still get your message across.
Well, the article said he was drunk. Apparently really drunk.
I don’t how I would live with myself after something like that. To get so drunk and so pissed off that I cut off my own finger while trying to slash someone’s tire. If this guy isn’t already insane, he soon will be.
Maybe it will be the motivation to get himself under control.
At least he caused no lasting damage to anybody but himself.
Do we chock this one up to Karma?
Yup. Karma, cosmic justice, threefold return - which is all to say that the dude got his just desserts without any help from us humans, who likely wouldn't have been nearly so poetic about it.
Just to add insult to injury.... If I was the lady, all I would want back is the cost of the new tire along with mounting and balancing....
So the guy lost his finger over what...... $150.00 bucks?
One rarely gets to see such a perfect case of poetic justice.
Whole lotta puns in this seed.
Can we say potential running for Darwin Award?
I wonder if anyone in this scenario is named Freddie? You know... because Freddie Got Fingered.
We'd have to know whether he has reproduced yet. If yes, no potential for the Darwin Award. If not, he may be a future winner.
Got my nomination.....
Did they dust the finger for prints?
The neighbor has been arrested.
... undoubtedly due to solid detective work by the local police dept.
Still no details on how exactly he managed to cut off his own finger though.
