Call police, since our wheelchair cannot pass. They will have it towed gladly with a lot of pleasure. (The Netherlands hates these asahats)
post
Take a picture of it and post it on social media for likes.
The icing on the cake is having the hitch ball mounted when they've probably never towed anything in their life. Make problems, and destroy some people's knees at the same time.
Oof yeah, I didn't even notice that. I woulda totally wacked my shins on it. It would leave a bruise for weeks, and probably ruin my pants with grease too.
Fuck this asshole. I'd put nails in front of his back tires so when he drives away he gets two flats. Stupid games, stupid prizes.
Have my wife wheel me over to where the license plate # is in view and post that bad boy to social media with a sympathetic title like "we had to take a huge detour because we couldn't get my wheelchair around this truck", grab some popcorn and watch as people form a digital witch hunt. Then call the police to have it towed.
Roll my eyes and shake my head. Probably make a snarky comment to my companion if I was with someone.
Fantasize about violence. Probably no real action other than banging into it when walking on the sidewalk.
I hate these fuckers. This happens a lot in my home town. I was young i just cursed the fuckers and kept going. Nowadays i would deflate the tire.
Lots of smack talk in here from the other side of the screen. Best malicious compliance is probably just call and report them for parking improperly. Or just walk across their car.
Deflate the tires and use the truck bed as a trash can and/or porta potty.
Parking enforcement.
And maybe check if the hitch is locked in.
Call the city line and report illegal parking. They will at least get a nice ticket, and if you're lucky, they'll get towed :)
No they won't, parking enforcement sucks in poland where this picture was taken.
Pedestrians have to resort to other means such as these "karny kutas" (punitive dick) stickers:

Annoyingly, in the jurisdiction I live, the driver will get your address if you report it
I used to dream of having a laser to cut the offending part off.
If there are no cameras or witnesses, there will be a flat if I got something sharp enough on me.
A nail when positioned correctly will cause a flat tire to slowly deflate once it's driven over. Makes it less likely to get caught because the damage won't be discovered at the scene
The problem is the tire is still repairable. A small hole in the side wall cannot be repaired.
Yeah, I think it's a case of balancing risk, as is the case with all things like this. A hole caused by a nail is easier to repair, but still an annoyance, especially if the lower risk means more people feel safe enough to take direct action in this way. I agree that a hole in the side wall is way more effective, but it's definitely a riskier strategy
Won't a tire punctured like that go boom?
No, they just get a hole. It's not like a balloon. Firstly the rubber is very thick and secondly it's got fiber reinforcement all through it.
Even a truck like that does not have enough PSI in the tire if filled right to explode catastrophically. So for a commuter car or truck like that, you can take a small knife and just make a hole in the sidewall that'll leak slowly and cannot be repaired. To explode it would take being over pressured a large amount.
Now I'll tell you what WILL explode catastrophically if you try this shit. Commercial truck tires, they are at such high PSI and often loads along with temperatures they do explode.
Fun fact: you're not supposed to keep your hitch on when you're not towing because it is directly connected to your frame, which means you lose the protection of the crumple zones and the bumper. If a misplaced sledgehammer were to land on your hitch it could seriously bend your shit and warrant very expensive repairs
always do this to at least two tires.
Most cars have 1 spare on board, not 2.
As a full-time asshole, I carry four spares.
Just park next to someone with the same kind of wheels as yours. No need to carry four spares.
I actually had a friend almost do something like this once. He hit some kind of metal object that pierced both his tire and wheel. He had a donut, but was tinkering with the idea of stealing the wheel off a nearby car of the same make and model. I don't think he followed through, but I'm sure it was tempting. It probably would have confused the person he stole it from too.
Just push the valve aside and stab the rubber with a fine blade
Do two tyres so the spare doesn't help
Call the polizia municipale for removal
After being on hold for 35 minutes they tell you that there are no patrols available at the moment to come to see (although you remember seeing one parked in front of a nearby bar) but they will come to check as soon as possible.
"As soon as possible" they meant after 6 hours and the pick up is no more parked there
Btw I don't understand those that are buying this kind of penis enhancement devices (no. It's not used for work), parking spots in Italy aren't designed for this size. If you have anything longer than 4 meters it's hard to find a place. Getting a 5.5 meters vehicle just for showing off, it's simply masochism
Wish I had the balls to scratch a little penis in the paintwork with my keys.
What I really do is make a picture (with visible license plate and added points for having a person in wheelchair with a sad face next to it) and send it to the city...
Look for my umbrella because that big ole cloud might be bringing rain
use the tyre as a step to step up onto the bed cover, step across it, and jump down the other side.
Look at mister fancy pants with his functioning knees.
With metal cleats
I had neighbours around me that did this shit regularly
I would drag a coin, walk over the bonnet with bouncy steps, break wing mirrors and the like
I had a spouse who required a wheelchair for a while, so I took it very personally
"Uh oh, is there a baby in the back seat? That's super dangerous! We better get the baby some air!"
"...oh, there wasn't? Oops. Well, my heart was in the right place."
There was someone that parked like this all the time when I lived in an apartment complex. I called the management office to complain, and they explained that their towing enforcement contract was only Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. You know, when everyone is at work, and therefore not parked.
The truck owner went on vacation, so her truck was parked like this on a Monday, and I called. The office worker decided they had to give a written warning first. So nothing ever happened with it.
Get a grinder and remove the part that is on the sidewalk
Would be very funny
More realistically take a pic WITH license plate and post online anonymously with GPS location
And inform the cops of course
I am not sure if you are allowed to call a towing company on your own, may depend on country laws
-
Put a fake tow notice under the wiper so the owner thinks they have to move the truck.
-
Chain the axle to that fence back there and lock it.
-
Kick the driver's door so the alarm goes off.
Driver hears the alarm, checks out his truck, gets pissed about the busted door, sees the tow notice, goes to move the truck, and since they obviously have no idea or concern for anything behind them, doesn't check the vehicle and ends up dragging the fence (or if it is really well put in, breaking an axle.
Ball style tow hitches are usually removable by a very visible cotter pin! Free ball hitch!
Probably ignore it, and hope they got a ticket of some kind. I don't think my area has any parking narc program.
Illegal things come to mind first.
But calling a tow company sounds like a great idea.
Police indifference to parking violations probably translates to police indifference towards vandalism. I carry a pocket knife. Two flats requires a tow.
Not my idea, but I'd like to get a pad of fake tickets and write him up for parking like a dickhead.
Once, about 10 or 12 years ago, I was taking my handicapped girlfriend home from her infusion treatment (Multiple Sclerosis) so we stopped for lunch at Wendy's. We pull in just in time to see a couple of chuds pull into the last available handicapped space in a shiny new work truck (F 250 with tool boxes and ladder rack). We parked across the parking lot. Back then she could still walk with a cane (she's wheelchair-bound now). The two said chuds sat down to eat, but I had other plans. We took ours to go, and I nonchalantly keyed the fuck out of the side of his shiny red paint high up on the door. My plan, had he seen me, was to wait for the cops to come. I'd cop to the keying, but he would have gotten a $250 ticket for not having a placcard. I realize it was kinda dumb because people are fucking crazy, and here in the US half of them are probably packing.
