    Can take hours to fully deflate, they could be on the Highway home by the time they go flat enough to be noticeable.

        Maybe I’ve had someone have this happen to them and the tire exploded and hurt an innocent bystander. It’s a large world.

        The possibility is there if you think for more than a few seconds on the possible consequences of something.

      I guess you could leave a sticky note on driver’s window that says something like “oopsie woopsie I noticed your tires are deflated, this car is unsafe to drive :(”. Also you could just unscrew the valve core to make sure tires deflate quickly.

        No no no, gotta be worse than that. Leave a note apologizing for the damage. There is no damage. They’ll be looking for hours

          I like it. A note that says, “I thought I could squeeze in but there wasn’t enough room. Sorry about the damage.” Might make them reconsider doing this again.

          I had a student do that. Just a post-it note that said “Sorry for the damage :(“. It was a kid that I wouldn’t have expected to play a prank like that, too: very quiet and reserved.
