Can You Report a Flat Tire Caused by Sabotage to the Police?
1 Answers
Tire sabotage is a punishable offense under public security management laws, as it constitutes intentional damage to others' property, and falls under police jurisdiction. If your tire is punctured, especially on the sidewall (which is thinner and more vulnerable), it's advisable to replace the tire. The cost of replacement can be claimed from the perpetrator. Below are common tire repair methods: Mushroom Plug Repair: Offers durable and effective repair but is more expensive and time-consuming, suitable for larger punctures. Hot Patch Repair: Provides long-lasting fixes but requires precise temperature and timing control, risking tire structure damage. Pricing varies significantly by tire size. String Plug Repair: Quick, affordable, and doesn't require tire removal or rebalancing. However, it enlarges the puncture and may lead to air leaks over time, best for small, identifiable punctures. Patch Repair: Convenient but prone to detachment when wet, ideal for minor punctures.
