    Let the air out of the tires. Isn’t a felony, is a MAJOR inconvenience and they look like idiots.

      Valve stem tool. Any bike shop worth going to will have one, and almaot any auto shop should have some.

      Loosen the stem, and you don’t even have to sit there letting the air out. Just walk away and let it deflate.

        Take a tiny pebble and put it inside the valve cap. Screw it back on halfway. It will depress the valve and let the air out.

          Shame, I guess you’ll have to stab some tires. No choice, really.

          Make sure you don’t poke any high pressure tires, your hands and arm bones will thank you!

          Tires are expensive, you don’t need a misdemeanor. Loosening or removing valve cores is criminal mischief, fine, or community service at most, but good luck with feds making up their own rules lately.
