You know, if you take a cap off a car's tire valve, wedge a little pebble in the cap, and then put the cap back on the valve, it presses on the valve and lets the air slowly leak out. If the owner notices the low air and reinflates the tire, it'll still leak out again if they don't notice the easily-missed pebble.
I don't think Quattro likes it when tire pressures are unevenly wrong.

If you don't care about slow deflation you can get a stem puller and yank the guts from the valve stem, too. Uh, or so I hear...

But the insidious thing about the slow deflation is that it won't get noticed immediately, and when it does, it'll be chalked up to just random leakage rather than a real problem, so it's unlikely to be taken to a shop.
Uh... in theory.

I know - it all depends on the circumstances, but I just chose indirect terror tactics to scare people anyway and then they stay clear of me. They may need new tires if they go completely flat. When that guy slashed my tires on Halloween I could barely move the car as the tire carcasses had taken to their new shape giving the effect of driving on square tires.
