Whilst on holiday with my family this August near Bayonne we visited the La Rhune mountain and had a lovely day, BUT we got back to find four very flat tyres only to discover that they had been slashed! As I had breakdown cover, eventually we were recovered and the tyres arranged to be replaced, but it certainly made us all really paranoid about leaving the car. (Camping and Caravan Club cover - they were brilliant, highly recommended)
Why were they slashed? Because we were British, poor parking or no reason at all?
Apparently from what I have heard it is a bit of common 'punishment' down that way if you have upset someone or they do not like how you have parked or some other inexplicable reason!
So a word of warning if you intend to visit that area, be aware and careful how you park your car!
One thing to note is whilst we were waiting for the breakdown truck, many locals (French & Spanish) slowed or stopped to see if we were ok or if we needed some help and all were shocked at what had happened.
