Flock cameras have fairly expensive lipo batteries in them ☝️

  • 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

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wear a mask. They're pretty accepting of wearing masks.

I can’t wait for a court case where they accuse someone of breaking the law for not removing their mask for whatever reason the Gestapo make up at the time.

True, those little buggers are WAY too fast and nimble! You're likely to get a faceful of claws for your efforts if you go about it wrong!

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

Vanilla I.C.E. ICE engines!

He was at Mar-a-gago with Dotard so this tracks.

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.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

like a potato

Potatoes? In this economy?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago

The more they spend on repairs the less is left for other things. The more budget they have to devote to this fiasco, the more backlash there will be.

[–] thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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)

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

ICE vehicles also have drivers. When enemy forces are invading your community, stealing their catalytic converters is kind of a low priority.

Ukraine stands out as an impressive role model with their use of drones.

Intellectuals Engaging in Demonstrations should know that the undercarriages have no armor or reinforcement.

The misspellings between the meme and OP's title is making my head hurt.

All you need is a sawzall ;)

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Sawzal saws all.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Those are pretty effective on the ICE agents, not just the vehicles.

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

Cars do tend to need all 4 tires inflated though…

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

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.

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

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Superglue in keyholes is a pretty tried and true method.

Although, possibly outdated... 100% of cars nowadays have a remote fob: unsure if that negates it, or if enough of the internal mechanisms get jammed up that it's still effective.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

slash the tires? seems to be old and effective.

unrelated, but i've been trying to find the right glue for a repair and you just helped me a ton

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hear. It’s even spelled out in the meme.
