minus-square@Carvex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink43•14 days agoSome people are saying carrying a spare padlock can be handy
minus-squarethedruidlinkfedilink11•14 days agoLet the air out of the tires. Isn’t a felony, is a MAJOR inconvenience and they look like idiots.
minus-squareMiles O'BrienlinkfedilinkEnglish10•14 days agoValve stem tool. Any bike shop worth going to will have one, and almaot any auto shop should have some. Loosen the stem, and you don’t even have to sit there letting the air out. Just walk away and let it deflate.
minus-square@modus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink9•14 days agoTake a tiny pebble and put it inside the valve cap. Screw it back on halfway. It will depress the valve and let the air out.
minus-square@onslaught545@lemmy.ziplinkfedilink2•13 days agoYou can also glue a BB in the cap so when they air it back up it’ll deflate again.

minus-square@Carvex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•14 days agoTires are expensive, you don’t need a misdemeanor. Loosening or removing valve cores is criminal mischief, fine, or community service at most, but good luck with feds making up their own rules lately.
minus-squareMiles O'BrienlinkfedilinkEnglish5•14 days agoShame, I guess you’ll have to stab some tires. No choice, really. Make sure you don’t poke any high pressure tires, your hands and arm bones will thank you!
minus-square@redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish1•14 days agoI suppose taking valve stems might be have down sides.
minus-square@AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink2•13 days agolol that would be so funny. especially on a hot day + lighting a fire under it.

Ooh nice, cheaper eco-friendly alternative!

It’s also not vandalism.
