I'm a little alarmed by our willingness to touch/move/deflate tire/etc etc on someone else's car because they don't like the way they parked. People can justify any action to themselves if they think about it hard enough. I bet the jackass that keys your car because "You spent too much on a depreciating asset" feels like he's teaching you a lesson too.

If the op was parked legally, a simple phone call would have fixed everything.
