Yeah, but when they come back to their cars it's pretty obvious what's happened. If you take out the actual valve portion from the valve stem and replace the valve caps it isn't straightaway obvious why all four tires are flat.

My favorite prank in college was to put bricks tight underneath the suspension next to the wheel and then let the air out. The car looked fine as one approached it but put it in gear and there was nothing.
