They might resort to slashing the tires. Any chance of nailing them with CCTV or an old fashioned stake out.

Hi, you should get a mini air compressor that fits into your cigeratte lighter in the Car. They are brillent and will have your tyre fully inflated in less than five minutes.. works best if you leave car running while you are doing this... you can buy them on ebay or a motor factors http://shop.ebay.ie/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=car+air+compressors

I walked to school in my final year even though I was driving. This is the reason why. Jealous little bastards. Just give them a slap.

Also, don't be driving to the garage on flat tyres, you'll destroy the sidewall. Buy a good compressor to keep in the car to inflate them marginally enough to get you to a garage to inflate to the proper PSI/BAR.

+1 compressor or even a good foot pump is a must have in the boot.

The thing about the foot pump is this: To get any sort of decent pressure in to the tyre you've to jack that corner up to get the weight of the car off the tyre.

Don't drive on flats if possible.
Try to park a bit away from the school if possible.
Have you alloys or steel wheels with trims\covers. If steelies, can you cover the valve caps with the wheel trims\covers and then use cable ties to secure the trims\covers. Keep a snips or blade in the glovebox if you need to cut the cable ties if you get a puncture.

Rub some **** on the valve caps and keep a few pairs of disposable rubber gloves in the car incase you need to inflate/deflate. Beat pranksters with pranks!

They'll be laughing at u standing in the rain using a foot pump every few days!

iv got alloys. the problem is i have a fair idea whose doing it, only no proof, and i would have considered them good enough friends of mine, so its just a prank, not likely to resort to slashing the tires. just gave to figure out some revenge.



sound out lads, thanks to every one who replied, i really appreciate it.
