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.
