Alternatively, you don't want to get busted for destruction of federal property:

These can be found as cheap as maybe $1, and by just removing the cap, you can simply unscrew the valve stem and walk away, replacing the cap. It does no long term or meaningful damage to the vehicle (unless they drive on the flats), and you can easily attach it to a key chain so you always have one with you.

I like the thought process but I still feel like those motherfuckers would get you for destruction of federal property if you got caught doing this.

Yeah and a not insignificant chance of them shooting you.
