minus-squarethedruid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 months agoLet the air out of the tires. Isn’t a felony, is a MAJOR inconvenience and they look like idiots.

minus-squaremodus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 months 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-squareMiles O'Brien@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoOoh nice, cheaper eco-friendly alternative!
minus-squareonslaught545@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoYou can also glue a BB in the cap so when they air it back up it’ll deflate again.

minus-squareCarvex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months 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'Brien@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 months 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-squareredsand@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoI suppose taking valve stems might be have down sides.
