I doubt these activists took a sailboat from the UK to the United States.

I couldn’t tell from the story if they are just letting the air out or doing something more damaging like cutting off the valve stem or slashing the tires. The first is a nuisance which will likely require an air compressor or remounting the tire if it came loose from the wheel. Destroying the tires could be upward of a thousand dollars damage.

Have a sign on the SUV: Warning the tyres are filled with Carbon Dioxide gas.

Doesn't take but a few seconds to let enough air out to make the tire look flat.
The question becomes are they just doing it to one tire or more per vehicle.
One would be aggravating but multiples are more so.

Hopefully it won’t be long until these British Butt Boys are handed their asses either by street gangs or country boys when they try this crap in other cities. All it should take is a few of them getting kicked in the teeth (or worse) and they will go scuttling back under the rocks they crawled out from.

Hopefully their next target will be downtown Chicago on a weekend. Let’s see how well that goes for them.

These climate clowns can walk the walk and off themselves as an example to clean up the climate and waste. They are vermin and their existence in itself is worthless; they are hypocritical and parasites.

Their activism causes more damage to the environment than those they accuse are guilty of.

Next, they are going to target and remove plastic cladding from the exterior of area homes, Seinfeld they are also made from petrochemicals. The group will be renamed “ Tyre and Sidin’”

At least what they are doing aren't ruining the tire with a drill or punch.

.22 = slow leak

They even try it with my SUV, they will certainly develop multiple fast leaks.

I hope that if they try that on my vehicle, I am not close by at the same time as I don't want to test my lawyer's skills at keeping me out of jail for protecting my life and property.

I know that I will be afraid for my life.

British climate activists show what lack of self control looks like.

If caught in the act I bet the SUV owner will smack their knuckles with a ruler.

OK, got it. Used to hunt elk and muledeer and grouse up around there. My lefty sister lives there. Husband and two daughters. Haven’t exchanged words with her in nearly a year.

Be fair about it. Tell them that if they atone for their criminal action by reinflating the tire without a pump all will be forgiven. If they don’t — or can’t — then it’s “beating time”.
