you can just unscrew the valve stem cap, drop a bb sized pebble in the cap, screw the cap back on and walk away when you hear it start hissing. No tools needed, takes 10 seconds and you haven’t done any property damage.
truck tires especially can have high enough PSI to mess you up if you just go ripping valve stems out while inflated and under load so that really shouldn’t be a recommendation. nobody wants their hand surprised degloved.
That truck doesn’t have tire pressure any higher than a car does. It’s the large trucks like semi trucks and dump trucks that have the high-pressure tires.
Definitely not true. I have a relative with a truck similar to the pictured one, and the rear tires are around 85 psi. If the individual thinks they need tow-worthy tires, they can definitely get them.
you can’t assess the psi accurately through guessing like that. An idiot who overinflated his tires coupled with a heavy load in the back can absolutely make a tire like that dangerous on sudden decompression.
You haven’t done any property damage….? Until they start driving 5 minutes later and the tire goes flat mid drive which causes it to explode. The vehicle then loses control and hits a completely innocent random bystander.
Congrats, you just committed manslaughter for petty revenge.
I don’t find your reasoning compelling, it takes less than 5 minutes for the tire to deflate and modern vehicles have pressure warnings on the dash. So your scenario requires a whole bunch of corner cases happening at the same time.
of course you shouldn’t engage in petty revenge but if anyone chooses to do so they should know how to it without hurting themselves.
Just call a tow truck. No need to resort to revenge. Them having to retrieve the truck and pay the fees should be enough of a deterrent without giving them reasons to call the police.
Looks like a parking garage of some sort. Property owners most likely already have a contract with a tow company for parking violations. Should be able to call the property manager to get it towed or call the towing company whose number is probably one of many signs there.
I had a similar issue with a truck and just called my apartment, they had them towed at the car owner’s expense. That’s usually the best option is contact whoever owns the garage or property management and they’ll get the asshole towed on the asshole’s dime usually.
Looks like someone’s tires need to get slashed
Tire inflation valve cores are surprisingly easy to remove.

Deflated tires don’t explode, that’s overfilled
If you have a flat and try driving on it: that’s in the for destroying your rims and tire

Yeah but then you’re even more stuck because now the truck is stuck as well…

Towing is more expensive and takes longer.
Even better. I didn’t think towing was more than a couple hundred dollars.
I think they meant the person who calls for the tow has to pay upfront.
If it’s illegally parked and you’re not the property owner you definitely don’t have to pay to get it towed
Huh? Just have the people responsible for the parking garage call the tow truck.

Not everyone can afford a couple hundred dollars to get at an annoying neighbour

It shouldn’t cause the victim anything for this. Just get the parking garage people to call the towing company.
