Looks like someone's tires need to get slashed
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.
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.
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.
Huh? Just have the people responsible for the parking garage call the tow truck.
If it's illegally parked and you're not the property owner you definitely don't have to pay to get it towed
Not everyone can afford a couple hundred dollars to get at an annoying neighbour
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.
It shouldn't cause the victim anything for this. Just get the parking garage people to call the towing company.
Not if you slash two or more tires 😈 Tires are around $100-200 a piece to have mounted and balanced, and that's usually either a used tire or a bottom of the barrel one. If you slash one they can replace it with a spare (assuming they have one). If you slash half or more of them they have to get the vehicle towed and have the tires replaced, that takes a lot of time and money. That could easily be like $600, getting your vehicle released from the tow yard if you pick it up within 24 hours is usually only like $150.
They'd have to prove you did it in the first place. Sure, you may have the motive, but "innocent until proven guilty". But yeah, the other owner could be a vindictive asshole and it would just start a war.
Tire inflation valve cores are surprisingly easy to remove.
Yeah but then you’re even more stuck because now the truck is stuck as well…
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.
I've deflated thousands of those tires by pulling the valve cores. It's fine.
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.
Deflated tires don't explode, that's overfilled
If you have a flat and try driving on it: that's on you for destroying your rims and tire
An under inflated/flat tire can absolutely spontaneously come apart, and at the RPMs it’s spinning it for all intents and proposes “explodes”. As large pieces of rubber will fly out at speeds that can decapitate someone.
But hey, let’s argue about the semantics instead of telling people to not kill people for petty revenge. If you can’t think for 2 seconds and come up with a way how an underinflated/flat tire could kills someone, you’re probably one of those idiots that drove with under inflated tires.
