Unrelated, but expected, there was a proudly displayed "Make america great again" red cap on the front, not visible because of the glass reflection. It is so weird how every owner of this kind of car I've seen has the exact personality I would expect. It's just a car, and yet, it's also a personality.

Anyway, there should be a sticker visible on the windshield right? If it is illegal is there a way to report it?

I realize now that I stupidly forgot to include the disabled sign in front of it. So I'm not sure that would be enough proof... Though you can still see the sign on the reflection of the super shiny metal (it's also weird that I've never seen one of those dirty from off road driving).

Just remember that deliberately slashing two tyres of someone else’s car is illegal.

It will also be detrimental to the environment if you damage the sidewalls.

Even if you deliberately only puncture the centre of the tread, so the tyres may be repairable it would still be a major inconvenience for the owner but would also be illegal.

Accidentally leaving a piece of plyboard or MDF board with some 2” nails through them behind the wheels is more of a grey legal area.

I have a bad habit of dropping boxes of screws, and it always seems to happen in parking lots, and I always seem to come up short on the retrieval :-/

Thanks. I'll make sure to not make some and not carry them with me so that I never accidentally drop it next time I see something like this again. I don't know why I never thought of taking this extra care.
