Flock cameras have fairly expensive lipo batteries in them ☝️

    I thought it was was referring to Internal Combustion Engines and was thinking, well yeah obviously.

    • They're often unmarked
    • cat theft is neither quiet nor fast (fast enough)
    • there's a good chance the 'agents' are very near by.

    Be careful; there's better ways to resist.

    When they all get out to swarm one person but leave the vehicle running, just get in, drive it several blocks away, and leave it there. :p

    What's a good adhesive for both fish and metal?

    That’ll just make them loud and gassy, like your average gravy seal.

    Cars do tend to need all 4 tires inflated though…

    Tire repair kits have the tools to remove shrader valves from tires making them... Somewhat difficult to keep inflated.

    Oh just about any tool will work, I used needle-nose pliers to yank the valve stems out when I worked as a grease monkey replacing old tires with new. Problem is…it’s really loud and you don’t want the SS drawing down on you.

    I’m thinking about taking up acupuncture, for totally unrelated reasons. Sidewall body therapy, can’t plug that.

    This will just make the car loud, but drivable. Also guess who gets to pay for the new converter? Tax dollars.

    Want to have it stall out or immobilize? Block the tailpipe with something, like a potato or slash tires.

    Super quick, doesn't require climbing under the car.

    Still carries fines and most likely criminal charges in this case. But since we are talking hacking off pieces of ICE vehicles anyway.

    La Résistance got started with tire slashing, cutting phone lines and defacing propaganda before working its way up to formidable fighting / mischief force.

    Practice, practice.

    I suspect coathanger caltrops would work too.

    Completely unrelated, but did you know that if all 4 tires are slashed on your car, insurance will typically cover the replacement; but if only 2-3 tires are slashed, you have to cover the replacement cost yourself?

    I wonder how many sugar cubes can be thrown into their fuel tank without them noticing.

    FYI, sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline. The sugar-in-the-tank thing is an old wives' tale.

    Luckily water is heavier than gasoline, is available everywhere, and engines can't run on it.

    Sand will also generally fuck an engine up, just as an FYI.

    It will if it's inside the engine, as in inside the crankcase where oil goes. Your fuel filter will block any sediment, and there isn't a ton that dissolves in gas. If the only thing you have available is the gas tank you want to add an oxidizer. Bleach in a gas tank will fuck an engine up, as will a few non petroleum fuels. Diesel will stall a gas engine, sand and sugar do nothing, but bleach will internally rust every bit of iron in the fuel rail and inside the cylinders.

    Icepick into the sidewall or in between the tread pattern requires less force / strength and is much less obvious than slashing the tyres. Goes down slower though (which can be good or bad depending on the situation)

    Unscrewing the tire valve stem cores takes no strength, and it's much less likely they'll figure it out. You also don't have to walk around with an ice pick to get caught with.

    Excellent point. Yes. That will certainly work, takes a bit longer but a good option
