Boots may vary because the boots in Philly are locked over the center part of the rim so this hack wouldn’t work unfortunately

This is the reason why most of those wheel locks are way bigger and cover the screws.

Why change the tire? Just jack it up ( to avoid damage) and deflate, remove, then inflate.

Because you have to drive to somewhere that has an air compressor

Who keeps an air compressor in their car?

Actually I think I have one in mine right now but it's because I am just storing a bunch of crap in it lol

In Atlanta GA it’s theft mandated and supported by City Hall . Lot of places aren’t properly marked .

perfect chance now to return the favor

Not really. A new tire and rim will cost a lot more than the fine.

That’s stupid. Still got to pay the ticket. They have your license plate. Now you get to deal with getting your car towed next time.
