What's the logic here? Like you said, they could get a screw stuck in a tire anywhere. Seems like that would be assuming they're smart enough to realize 'where' they picked it up so they'll avoid that area?. Car guys might pay attention to sh*t like that but most everyone else? Me thinks not so much.
Same concept of loosening the valve stems but higher chance of them having to pay for new tires and less risk of getting caught in the act. These days I have become much more passive aggressive due to the nature of people

Ok, makes sense. I don't get that either.

the valve stems are much more pleasing as you know they are going to not figure it out for a while. Just puts a smile on your face 😁

Think of long term aggravation. Every day or so at the gas station paying for air, if not ending in a not so cheap tow most likely out of pocket ($60-$120) plus blowing up of tires or checking of tires. Time and money spent plus call to work possibly lost pay. Simple little guilty pleasure of possibles = smile.

Yea I know it's petty but at this point if they can't agree to not park in the yard, I'm gonna mess with them, even if it's for my own smiles and not solving the problem. They may not know whodunit, but I will.
I even armed the neighbors. 20220430_115833.jpg
I would just block off the area they park but I like to park in the yard so my girl can get in and out.
It's storming here so I think we get a break this week. They're usually rolling in the neighborhood about this time and they aren't here. Or maybe the H/O took it more seriously then I gave him credit. Well see next week.

Hook some keys on your belt loop with a climbing hook. Be a darn same if some paint got slightly scratched while walking next to a car wouldn't it? Even worse if you I u had a small tack hammer and put a strategic dent where an opposing driver's door would've opened into the side of an adjacent car.

Sow dissent amongst the evil doers and let them think their junk got wrecked by each other. No heavy keying mind you, just what a careless interloper brushing against the car would leave.

Seems like using a truck locked in 4lo to shove their POS cars into each other would do the trick.

You're halfway there. Instead you run a tow strap from the tow hook on the last car in line under the whole row perpendicular to the direction they park.

Then you go in 4lo, and pull that last car sideways into each of the other cars.

Everyone looks at the end car that started the pileup, but, the whole side of the car is dent and scratch free, no evidence of impact or external force knocking it sideways.

Only logical conclusion is that car fishtailed into the others knocking them all sideways, and the driver must be at fault.

Slim Jim the door, drop a bag of substances in plain view on a seat... QED
