Be a shame if someone with a pair of side cutters accidentally cut all of those valve stems on them tyres.
I dont want to be that guy but I'm gonna be that guy.
Dont fuck with peoples cars, not because they dont deserve it but because everything to do with them these days is SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE that its very easy to stray into serious charges territory by fucking with them. For example, under Florida law, you will face a felony charge if you vandalize property and the crime results in $1,000 worth of damage or more.
Now, can anyone tell me the dollar value of towing and replacing 4 valve stems plus a wheel allignment and balance on a Range? Does anyone know if the tyre pressure sensor is integrated into the valve stem? Does anyone want to find out the hard way and catch a felony charge over bad parking?
Yep, 100% agree. Plus you’re risking literal death if the owner is unhinged enough and catches you in the act.
It is a shame that with all this construction going on, you run into roofing nails everywhere though. Purchasable with cash and no trail at major outdoors supply stores and have a nice flat head that allows it to sit perfectly straight.
Just a real shame how easy it is to lose one of those! Well anyway I’ve finished bending down to tie my shoe and will continue on my day.
In a country like the Netherlands people like this will generally have all-risk insurance, and even then most normal insurance would also cover serious damage like this.
Unless you're under 18 this'd also go on your record and you have to pay a fine, making getting a job or anything else quite a lot harder for you from now on.
