Have you ever keyed a car of flattened a tire?

[NJmaverick]

No, I have never done something like that, but know a lot of people who have. I wonder how many of you have taken out your anger on someone's vehicle.

1. I once let the air out of all 4 tires of a double parked ass

who parked next to me so I couldn't get out of my parking space. After 30 minutes of waiting, the person parked in front of me moved so I could get out. I got out, stopped and opened my toolbox, pulled out my handy little tire valve tool and turned the valve stem enough to let the air out of all four tires and drove off.

[NJmaverick]

2. LOL! Good for you

[dysfunctional press]

15. i did something similar to someone's pick-up who had run me off the road...

while i was on my bicycle.
i saw the truck parked on a bridge downtown, so i took out all four valve stems and threw them in the river. but i did put the caps back on, so the person's first instinct would be that they had been slashed.

[snooper2]

22. if you pulled the valve stems out..

what would you screw the caps on to?

[MicaelS]

24. He probably meant valve cores, not valve stems.

There is a difference.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrader_valve

The Schrader valve (also called American valve)invented by August Schrader in 1891 consists of a valve stem into which a valve core is threaded, and is used on virtually all automobile tires and most wider rimmed bicycle tires. The valve core is a poppet valve assisted by a spring.

[snooper2]

26. that makes sense...

needle nose pliers and they rip right out :)

[MicaelS]

29. The proper tool works much better

The smallest ones are ones that replace one of your valve stem caps.

[dysfunctional press]

30. yes- i meant the valve cores...the valve cap on my bicycle has a built-in core remover tool.

the quickest way to disable a car without causing any damage.

41. a roomie of mine did that in a college town

A steakhouse parking lot was next to the long drive to our apt complex.
The drive got some monstrous chuckholes in it one spring.
Everyone was cutting thru the steakhouse parking lot, through one double wide parking spot where there was no bumper blocks, and then reconnecting to the apartment drive once past the chuckholes.

Asst mgr for the steakhouse parks his car crosswise in the cut through spots.
My roommate breaks a spring in the chuckhole coming home drunk, comes in the apartment, grabs the needle nose pliers.
Slurs out 'come watch me fix this fucker.'
So, we all went and watched him rip out the cores.

edit: I notice original poster is from NJ, my roomie was from Long Island.

[pintobean]

19. I didn't have the tool.

I put small pebbles under all the caps. Same results.

[Hippo_Tron]

37. I thought about doing that but it would be counterproductive since I wanted her out of the spot

[hippywife]

3. No. And I never would.

No matter how insensitive someone else is, that's no reason for me to sink to their level. It turns me into the thing that I abhor.

[LynneSin]

4. I once hung tampons soaked in ketchup over an ex-boyfriend's car

does that count?

[NJmaverick]

6. creative

[unpossibles]

5. no, nothing permanent like that

I have however spat on people's windshield when they park illegally in a handicap spot, and one time this jaguar was taking up two spots in front (not in back, but near the door), so I pulled my crappy $300 beater in next to it with about a half inch to spare and climbed out of the hatchback. It was pretty funny too, because the jag's passenger was still in the car and shooting me dirty looks the whole time. I smiled and waved before I got out.

[suninvited]

7. busted an ex-husbands windshield once.

We had only been seperated a couple of weeks, and he had called my work and said I was doing donuts in his front yard (of his girlfriends house that he moved into when I threw him out). It wasnt true, but I was so mad I went over there and said to him "if you are going to be saying I am doing something then I will give you something to tell that you wont be making up".

I smashed his windsheild with a hammer and demolished my hand. It took a lot of stitches to sew it up.

He called the police on me, but it turns out that if a vehicle has your name on the title you can burn it to the ground as long as you arent violating fire codes. But I did get a tresspass warning from the police not to go to that address again.

[bikebloke]

8. I wish I had this morning.

Biking into work, some asshole tried to run a stop sign, then started gunning his car at me, like he wanted to hit me. A big fat middle aged fuckwad. Then he flipped me off. I made sure he saw me taking his license number.

[Throd]

9. Yes I have

It was back in about 1992. After six long years I had finally finished restoring my 1968 Oldsmobile 442. One week after getting it back from the paint shop, I walked up to it and found a 1 1/2" gash on the quarter panel that went through to the metal. I then looked at the car next to it and saw my bright yellow paint on the edge of the other car's door. There was no note of apology left on my vehicle. I flipped out and took a large lag screw to score a huge "X" into the driver door of the offending car.

[HopeHoops]

10. Condom over the gear shift lever.

The intended recipient didn't get into the car - his younger sister did. That made it even MORE funny!

[dysfunctional press]

33. i put a condom wrapper under the seat of a friend's car as a joke...

at least that's what he had me tell his wife when she found it...:evilgrin:

[tabbycat31]

11. not permanent damage

but a bunch of coworkers and I back in 2001 took a bar of soap and wrote 1918 on my (Red Sox fan) boss's car. He had a sense of humor so we didnt get in trouble or anything.

And it rained the next day so it was gone.

A former coworker of mine put salt in the gas tanks of so many other coworkers cars. I am so glad I was never on his bad side.

[MilesColtrane]

12. No.

Because karma has a way of taking care of assholes, it doesn't need my help.

[Paladin]

13. No, But There Are Plenty Of Deserving Targets Out There..... (n/t)

[Brickbat]

14. A friend and I once put a bunch of condom's on someone's car as a prank, but I have never tried to

damage someone's car. I got keyed on 9/11/01, which blew my mind.

[dysfunctional press]

16. i completely buried a car in snow once...

we lived in chicago, and after a rather huge snowstorm, i shoveled out three parking spots in front of our house, but only 'kept' one for us, as we only had one car. the next morning, i took my wife to the train station, and 'saved' the spot with our lawn chairs. when i got back 20 minutes later, the chairs were on the parkway, and a car was parked in the spot(we lived half a block from a university). i spent the rest of the day burying the car in snow, to the point where you couldn't even see the car. when the girl who owned it showed up later, it took her awhile to figure out that it was her car, and it took her over two hours to dig it out. :shrug:
i'll bet she never did that again.

[ChickMagic]

17. I never have

But a stalker ex boyfriend keyed the shit out of my car. All the way from the rear to the front.

[Iggo]

18. No and Yes.

[Skittles]

20. no, that kind of stuff is absolute cowardly and chickenshit

[conscious evolution]

21. I molatov cocktailed one once

I didn't mean to.
I missed the house I was aiming for.

[Haole Girl]

23. No. And I never will.

I have much more creative ways to avenge...

:rofl:

[snooper2]

25. We once put a bunch of this stuff under the drivers seat

of an asshole's car who kept fucking with people at a poolhall...

I think it was about 102 outside that day :rofl:

[dysfunctional press]

31. i did pretty much the same thing to an asshole college roomate...

it was an off-campus dorm in champaign, illinois...i got stuck with a total tool of a roomate...so i decided to get an apartment with a friend...the day i moved out, i punched some holes in a bag and put it in the heater along the wall. the heat got turned on about a week or so later. :puke:

[proteus_lives]

27. Perhaps.......

[Haole Girl]

28. Check out this old fart, in our area, who keyed Hummers (on youtube):

He plead guilty. Makes me want to put a hidden camera on my car!

Edit to add news link: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/092308dnmethummer.18460ce.html

[dysfunctional press]

32. i had a friend who had his hummer keyed...

and he caught the guy doing it.

unfortunately for the guy, my friend is also a sheriff's deputy, and uses his car for official business, so the guy was charged with felony damage to a police vehicle.

oops.

[Haole Girl]

34. Big oops!

Bet your friend got the book thrown at them.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

44. Yes, cops will do their job with extra vigor

when the victim is a cop.

[old mark]

35. Many years ago, I had a Fiat Spyder, and someone backed into it

while it was parked and pushed it about 4 feet back so they could get into a parking space - It was in gear and had the brake set, so it could really have been a mess.
I broke both his tail lights with a jack handle....he was still in the car and never got out.

I was younger then....

mark

[Forkboy]

36. LOL...I shouldn't ever admit this....

We once cut the stems on every cruiser in the local police department parking lot. You think I'm a dickhead now? You should have seen me 20 odd years ago.

And it had nothing to do with anger. Just young and dumb, and that was one of the tamer things I did at the time.

[madinmaryland]

38. No. Have you?

[applegrove]

39. I once left a job because of a psychopath. As I left he or he had someone

smash in three car windows in my name. I was too fucked up to do anything about it or get help. I went into shock and stayed in shock for over a year. It was horrible. A friend from that job stopped believing me and our friendship ended about 5 months after I left and she told me she didn't understand why I had done that to x (a person whose car window was smashed)but I was so shocked I didn't pick up on the meaning of what she had said. She was really vulnerable and committed suicide within a year from the time I had left that job. I have to live with that.

Not a funny issue. I think alot of vandalism is cause by sociopaths and the like. They terrorize the police as well as the regular population.

[madamesilverspurs]

40. Yes, but not maliciously.

Jerkwad at the bar. We knew he'd get tanked and get behind the wheel. And we knew that if he made it home he'd beat the crap out of his wife. So, while he was tossing back a few drinks we let the air out of his left front tire. Since he was too drunk to stand up without falling over it took him quite a while to change the tire. When he put the flat in the trunk he discovered that the right rear tire was also flat (yep, we'd deflated that one, too). He plopped down onto the curb to figure out what to do, and passed out leaning against his car; he didn't drive anywhere.

[noamnety]

42. gosh no.

No jerk is worth me getting busted for vandalism. I'd rather quietly hope that karma gets them.

[stewartcolbert08]

43. No. But I've been very fucking tempted!

[Burma Jones]

45. Years ago, I was working on a play being performed at the DC Arts Center in Adams Morgan

During the performance, someone parked their Benz in the alley blocking the back fire exit. We called the police who eventually had the car towed, but not before we had repeatedly tried, with great vigor, to open the heavy metallic exit door which did great insult to the Benz.

[MiddleFingerMom]

46. I used to have this talent...

.
...if there was an asshole in a bar, I would invariably sit next
to him/her.
.
Once, the only seat available in a crowded bar was next to
a guy who turned out to be hammered and he spent the next
two hours explaining to me that his ex-girlfriend had him
arrested for slashing her tires and that he was completely
innocent.
.
Told me over and over and over and over and fucking over.
.
I was very thirsty. And tired, And there was no other seat.
.
That's why (before anyone asks).
.
Closing time, I get up to leave and he grabs me and shouts,
"OK, I DID IT!!!!! BUT ONLY 'CAUSE I LOVE HER!!!"
.
It's a gift... this talent o' mine.
