I'm still really likin the idea of putting a large "I love men" decal or printout on the back of the vehicle- would be easy to print out and cut out and tape on, and it'd be quick too. They'll expect you to be up to no good. So back your vehicles up within a few inches the back of theirs, so they don't see it.

They'll wonder what you're up to, but they'll get in and drive off..and drive all the way home with a horrifyingly embarrassing sticker on the back of their cars.

That's escalating things too badly. Next step from them would be cutting valve stems.

We did that to a guy at work. We put "Gay & Lonely, Honk if You're Horny" on his rear bumper. He didn't find it for a week and said that he kept wondering why people were honking and laughing at him. We also put a "I Like Little Boys" sticker onto a guy's truck. Not a good idea in Texas, he almost got beat up.

Working very quickly. Use a valve stem removal tool and remove the valve stem. Put the cap back on. When they drive off the pressure blows the caps off and instant flat.

Chaining them to somthing or togther would be bad since they would take off and once the chain was tight somthing would break.

How about the potato in the tail pipe trick?

dead fish in the hub cap but that wouldnt slow them down...just smell bad in a day or two

That's not a good idea many places. Except for maybe California and probably not even there. Might get ya killed some places in the South.

Is it just an illusion due to the frame rate of the camera or are your wipers really like wet noodles flopping around on the window? If it's the wipers, what kind are those?

Then went to pull out of the drive and I've got no headlights...not good at 5:30 am and raining. A quick diagnosis revealed it to be the low beam relay that had gone bad. Had a spare on hand so it wasn't a huge issue at all.

Most of the traveling I do, I have service on my Sprint phone once I get to my destination. That's why I was thinking it would be good for me.

Justin, a couple that some guys pulled in high school on some people...Saran wrap their whole car, completely around the cab, underneath it, around the top, just to completely keep them out of their car. That's pretty easily done and not too difficult to remove, but would delay them enough for you to get out the gate first. The other one, which is a little more harsh, put a layer of petroleum jelly all over their front windshield, then open a bag of flower and cover their windshield. To them it will look like it's just covered in flower, but when they turn on the wipers to clear it off, the whole mess will smear in to a white goop.
