The U.K. climate group whose members deflated tires on an estimated 40 vehicles in New York City last month recently announced similar actions in cities nationwide.
The Tyre Extinguishers, which encourages activists to deflate tires of parked sports utility vehicles (SUV) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, said it has already spread to Chicago and the San Francisco area this month. Individuals affiliated with the group have deflated the tires of 20 SUVs in Chicago, another 20 SUVs in Scranton, Pa., and 12 SUVs near San Francisco this month, according to the group.

How much carbon-based energy will it take to reinflate these tires?
Those dumb Limeys. They don’t know how to spell “tire”.
Maybe the “Trunk Monkey” will make a come back.
I have a solution for “Tyre Exstinguishers” ... A .45-ACP HP to the center of the forehead. The surefire solution to woke tyre-nny
Sooner or later one of these fools will find an exploding tire
Should do that to their man parts.
Me too.

Good tactical advice— especially removal of any debris in the valve. Another point which would spoil the day— these bozos could be unscrewing and removing the pin valve in the stem (it would take longer but no comeback for the owner unless they have spare valves to replace the removed one! Plus the pump as you mentioned).
These are real LOONIES! If they slash the tyres, then replacement would be MUCH worse for the “climate” than just leaving them the hell alone!
Reminds of the “Sierra” Club clowns who DID injure foresters and loggers by SPIKING trees with metal spikes which the chain saws would hit, kicking back on the workman and severely injuring (and iirc- killing one or more). Absolutely crazy a@@ loons, crazy with hate and misdirection and fraud.
They dye and the urine could easily be inflated into the tyre. A small cottage industry (like “Slime” brand) could get this out to market pretty quick.
MARK THE loonies— UV light dye, colorized as well.
probably a good idea to keep a few of those in your car, along with an air pump, and a few cans of fix-a-flat
brake...
It’s a terrible event to the victim.
However 62 incidents worldwide is like no percent.
I say they should get the "Winnie Mandela Treatment".
I catch terrorists in the act, they won’t even have a head to bash very long.
This is deeply concerning because it could spread across country like wildfire. Deflating tires is quick and does no permanent damage. It only causes a severe inconvenience and the cost of a tow. As crimes go, it is low level so punishment would be non-existent or very mild. Anybody can do it.
If this catches on, we are all screwed big time. From a mere numbers perspective, this is a massive problem far in excess of catalytic converter theft, which is far more expensive but will probably never be a common problem. They can hit anywhere anytime, and quickly. Four punks each take a tire, and it is done in 30 seconds.
I am holding my breath for this one, because if it becomes a big deal on social media, nobody’s truck or SUV is going to be save, or any car the greens think is in the same category. You will have some punks who think every car is fair game but EVs.
This is scary. This has the potential to be horrendous.
All it takes is for one of these punks to get their brains blown out and it will stop.
Ouch! That is fast and damaging. This is even worse than I thought. I was thinking they remove the cap and deflate. Yes, snips would be done in seconds. This is very bad.
Track these people down and sat a fire under THEIR vehicle.
Until every insane woke green activists sees it on social media. Then it becomes 62,000 and then 62 million.
